The Psychological Center is the training clinic for the CUNY Doctoral Subprogram in Clinical Psychology located at the City College of New York. The Center is a community-oriented outpatient mental health facility that was established on February 17, 1966 to serve the practicum training needs for the doctoral program.
The Center is located on the 8th floor the North Academic Center on The City College campus, one block east of the 137th Street station on the Broadway IRT (Number 1) subway line. The Center consists of offices and seminar rooms, working space for clinical faculty, students, administrative and affiliated research personnel, client contact rooms, student offices, and a small library of specialized titles and frequently used psychology manuals and journals.
The Center is headed by the current Director, Dr. Carol Cohen-Romano and is staffed by the graduate clinical students in residence (approximately 60 students divided among four classes) who devote eight to ten hours per week to practicum training. Incoming students at the start of their graduate career are given clinic responsibilities commensurate with their knowledge and experience. Supervision of psychological services is provided by the clinical faculty, licensed clinical psychologists from other programs, and external licensed clinical supervisors.
The Center's mission is to provide the highest quality of psychotherapeutic services for the college and surrounding communities as well as to provide relevant training opportunities for the doctoral students in the Clinical Psychology Subprogram. The clinic shares a commitment with the program in providing services to those who might otherwise not have access to services, which includes underserved, poor and disenfranchised populations from the New York metropolitan area. The Psychological Center provides individual, group, couples and family consultations, therapy, and psychological testing for adults, adolescents and children.
