Psychological Consultation Center

The Psychological Consultation Center (PCC) is part of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Clinical Psychology Training Program (CPTP), which was established in 1948. PCC doctoral students provide psychological services to individuals and families in Lincoln and surrounding communities. At the same time, the PCC is a teaching, training, and research center for the CPTP. Services are provided primarily by doctoral students in the CPTP. All services provided in the PCC are supervised by licensed clinical psychologists who hold faculty appointments in the Department of Psychology or who are contracted with the Department to provide supervision.

The mission of the PCC is threefold:

1. To provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention services for individuals and families in Lincoln and surrounding areas.

2. To provide excellent professional development and clinical practice training for CPTP doctoral students in a behavioral health outpatient clinic that serves the general population.

3. To conduct assessment- and treatment-relevant research that contributes to knowledge and practice regarding psychopathology, clinical assessment, and treatment across the lifespan. The goal of all PCC services is to integrate the clinical, training, and research aspects of the PCC mission into exceptional services that are grounded in and contribute to state-of-the-art research. Such integrated experience is the standard for graduate student clinical training in the scientist-practitioner tradition.

The PCC faculty, doctoral students, and staff are committed to providing services and conducting research in the scientist-practitioner tradition, with a particular emphasis on evidence-based practice and adherence to the ethical standards of psychology. Evidence-based practices are defined as “the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences,” (American Psychological Association, 2005).

Our clients' privacy and security is one of our highest priorities. All information related to therapy and assessments is held in strict confidence within the limits of state and federal laws. All staff and clinicians are trained and proficient in data security and privacy.

It is the policy of the Psychological Consultation Center and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln not to discriminate on the basis of age, sex, gender, disability, race, color, religion, marital status, veteran's status, national or ethnic origin, or sexual orientation. The PCC is committed to offering sensitive and inclusive services and support for a large range of backgrounds.
