Saint 直播自慰视频 University To Offer Free Psychological Assessments for St. 直播自慰视频 City Residents

Saint 直播自慰视频 University鈥檚 Psychological Services Center, in partnership with the St. 直播自慰视频 Mental Health Board, will begin offering free psychological assessments for St. 直播自慰视频 city residents on a first come, first serve basis beginning on July 1.

鈥淒epending on where people go, most psychological assessments run between $1,000 to $4,000, and for people who cannot afford that really hefty cost, it can be difficult to get the diagnosis that they need,鈥� said Laura Burch, Ph.D., Clinical Director for the Psychological Services Center. 鈥淭his funding from the Mental Health Board is going to significantly open up access to services for those residing in St. 直播自慰视频 City who might not otherwise afford it.鈥�

Each psychological assessment is a multi-step process that can help determine various cognitive, educational, emotional, and behavioral difficulties for children and adults, which can result in diagnoses of anxiety, depression, learning disorders, ADHD, or other issues. A full list of the issues evaluated and treated by the Psychological Services Center can be found here. 

Following the assessment, clients will receive recommendations tailored to their specific needs. For those who may benefit from therapy, the Psychological Services Center offers therapy services on a sliding scale basis, or they can provide referrals elsewhere. SLU鈥檚 Psychological Services Center can serve patients from age four through older adulthood, setting up patients for a lifetime of learning and growth. 

鈥淕aining access to mental health evaluations will lead to a healthier St. 直播自慰视频,鈥� Burch said. 鈥淲hen someone has a diagnosis that is clear and accurate, they are able to access help much earlier, which we know leads to better long term outcomes. Supporting mental wellness really has a lifelong effect.鈥� 

Through increased access, Burch hopes to continue reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and encourages anyone who feels they may need help to seek it. 

鈥淚f you think you might have something going on, give us a call,鈥� Burch said. 鈥淚f we aren鈥檛 the right fit for you, we鈥檒l be forthright with that. We really want to serve in line with the mission of SLU. We want to serve the individual, especially the underserved individual. Ruling out a diagnosis is just as important as finding your diagnosis, and we want to help in whatever way we can. Even if you鈥檙e not sure if you need an assessment, having more information and making more informed decisions is important. Your wellbeing always comes first.鈥�
