How do I access services?

Call the Psychology Clinic at 706-542-1173.

If we are not accepting new clients, then you will be placed on a waiting list and will be contacted when we are scheduling intake appointments. If we are accepting new clients, then you will be scheduled for an initial 90-minute appointment with one of our intake clinicians.

The intake appointment is free of charge and used to determine if our clinic’s resources can meet your needs and to answer any questions you may have. If it is mutually determined that our clinic is a good fit for your needs and we have an appropriate therapist available, then you will be assigned a therapist who will call you directly to schedule a first session. If we do not have availability or it is determined that other resources would be more helpful to you, appropriate referrals will be provided. 
 

What is the cost for services?

While providing quality services and facilities is expensive, it is the policy of the Psychology Clinic to work with clients regardless of their income. Your fee is set using a sliding scale that takes into account your income and family size. The Psychology Clinic does not accept medical insurance. Payment is generally due at the time of service.
