Individual Psychotherapy
We offer short-term and long-term psychotherapy services for adults, children, adolescents and their parents/guardians, and couples and families. Services are based on each client’s needs.
Our doctoral students and their licensed supervisors approach therapy with a diverse range of techniques, from cognitive-behavioral to psychodynamic.
To schedule an appointment, please call 518-442-4900.
What do psychotherapy services cost?
We strive to set fees that won’t burden our clients. Our sliding scale is based on the individual’s income, number of dependents and ability to pay.
- First appointment (intake): Flat fee of $25 to $30, depending on the type of service
- Additional appointments: Sliding scale fee, ranging from $10 to $75 per 45-minute session
The Psychological Services Center does not accept health insurance, Medicaid or other third-party payments.
What problems do you treat in psychotherapy?
We offer different services for clients of differing ages. Below you will find a list of presenting problems, concerns and topics that the clinicians at the PSC are able to treat for each type of client.
If you are unsure if the Psychological Services Center at 518-442-4900 can address your needs, call us and complete a telephone interview. We will help determine if the PSC is a good option for you.
If we determine that your needs and presenting problems would be most appropriately treated by an alternative provider, setting or level-of-care, we will provide referrals instead.
