Founded in 1963, and expanded with the Center for Assessment in 2013, the UC Berkeley Psychology Clinic has been serving the Bay Area for 60 years. Our mission is threefold:
Center of Excellence for Clinical Training
Each year, we provide top-quality training to approximately 25 talented and dedicated Clinical Science Program Ph.D. students, as well as students from other areas of the Psychology Department, the School of Education, and affiliated programs. Our supervisors are experienced, licensed clinical experts who are often nationally renowned in their areas of focus.
Center of Excellence for Clinical Research
Pioneering research by faculty and students tackling critical questions related to mental health is housed in the Clinic. These programs are funded from a variety of sources, including the National Institute of Aging, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute for Drug Abuse, and National Institute for Child Health and Human Development.
Services to the Bay Area
We offer affordable individual, child & adolescent, couples, parent training and family therapy, as well as assessment services. Our Clinic is dedicated to providing culturally responsive, evidenced-based therapy and evaluation services to the community, including those who are traditionally underserved and special populations including racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities. All sexual orientations and gender expressions are welcome.
"EBP Besties": Helpful Information on Common Mental Health Topics
Ever wish there was a reliable and trustworthy social media resource that shared useful mental health information? Well look no further!
In addition to providing direct clinical services, we seek to share the best information that our research has to offer on common mental health topics. You can find us on social media with free, accessible content here:
Wait, what's EBP again? Great question--many people have never heard of this! EBP stands for evidence-based practice. This means interventions demonstrated by the research to be effective for improving mental health conditions and are flexible and individually-tailored to meet the unique needs of each person. Many people are surprised to know that some therapies don't actually work or help people. We hope to change this through sharing and providing more about those strategies that do work!
