Psychology Clinic Services

The ISU Psychology clinic provides in-person therapy services, telehealth therapy appointments, and in-person assessments.

Most of our services are provided by our Psy.D. students, who are supervised by licensed clinical psychologists. We also offer limited services through our Faculty Practice Program.

We offer therapy services to help improve the functioning of children, adolescents, and adults. Services focus on work to address problems in living and adjustment, family relationships, social difficulties, and school problems (for children), among other issues. When working with youth, parents are included in treatment.

Time-limited group therapy services are occasionally available and will be advertised (if available) on this page.

We offer psychological assessment/evaluation to help describe a client’s current functioning, the underlying causes of current problems or issues, and for clarification of diagnosis. Ultimately, the purpose of psychological assessment is to make concrete, specific recommendations for how an individual can improve their life. Components of assessments may include cognitive strengths and weaknesses, learning, memory, an evaluation of personality, health issues, and dynamics of emotional functioning. These assessments can help clarify and understand problems in living and adjustment; social, emotional, and behavioral functioning in children, adolescents, and adults; family relationships; ADHD; among other issues. 

Assessment services are available with a referral from a medical provider (Fax number (812) 237-8595), in addition to assessments provided for persons starting therapy services with our clinic.

The Clinic offers a specialty clinic for the assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for grade-school children (kindergarten through 5th grade). The ADHD evaluation includes multiple measures and ratings from both parent/caregiver and the child’s teacher. The evaluation typically takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Feedback and treatment recommendations are generally provided to parents and referral sources within three weeks of the assessment. A referral is required for this clinic, from a medical provider or school.
