About Us

Our Mission

The Psychological Center is the training clinic of CCNY’s Clinical Psychology Doctoral program, a well-established psychology-training program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). Our mission is to make high-quality psychodynamic therapy, evidence-based treatments, and psychological/neuropsychological testing more accessible by providing sliding scale-services based on financial need in a community setting. All services are provided by doctoral students in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at CCNY who are supervised by licensed clinical psychologists.

Confidentiality

The Psychological Center is dedicated to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.

In light of the ongoing pandemic, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients and staff. While masks are optional, we encourage patients to communicate their specific needs with their providers. If you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms, we kindly request you contact us to reschedule for when you are well.
