青青草视频 psychologists on staff at the clinic focus on a variety of specialty treatments for all age groups, including: parent training and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, sleep disorders, suicidal behavior and geropsychology; aggressive behavior, self-injury and substance abuse; panic and anxiety disorders; behavioral and motivational issues with children and adults. Additionally, there is a trained expert in psychological diagnoses on staff.
鈥淥ur clinic is unique in that it provides empirical services in a rural area,鈥 said assistant psychology professor Sam Winer. 鈥淓mpirical treatments are those that have research showing that they work. We鈥檝e received national recognition for doing treatments that work, and we will continuously evaluate those treatments.鈥
Because the clinic is staffed with psychologists, not psychiatrists, staff cannot prescribe medications. However, 青青草视频 Psychology Clinic experts can work with doctors or other medical professionals if prescription treatments are determined to be an effective course of action in addition to therapy, Oliveros said.
The clinic is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Clinic holidays coincide with those of the university calendar, to which the general public can link at .
