Clinic offers sessions on coping with stress and anxiety from COVID-19 – Ohio University

The Psychology and Social Work Clinic at Ohio University will offer low-cost sessions on coping with stress and anxiety from COVID-19 to both campus and community members starting in January.

These virtual sessions with trained professionals in the Psychology and Social Work Clinic can be teen-focused and or adult-focused and are open to residents of Ohio.

As we transition from 2020 and a life-altering global pandemic to a hopeful but uncertain future, fear and anxiety are expected, said Dr. Nicholas Allan, assistant professor of clinical psychology. However, if anxiety is too overwhelming or uncertainty too distressing, the return to normal can be unnecessarily unpleasant. At the PSWC, we are offering individual and group virtual interventions designed to give you the tools to navigate this future more successfully using empirically supported research tools.

These interventions are available via telehealth (virtual) for convenience and include use of a mobile app to provide increased support. Fee waivers are available.

Allan noted that the center offers different types of sessions for various needs.

These services are offered by trained professionals at the Psychology and Social Work Clinic, a supportive, affirming outpatient mental health clinic that is primarily staffed by doctoral student therapists of the Ohio University clinical psychology program.

The PSWC offers evidence-based therapy and comprehensive assessment services for children, adolescents, and adults. Individual therapy services are available for a broad range of behavioral health concerns including: depression, anxiety and phobias, disordered eating, trauma, OCD, personality disorders, self-harm, school refusal, poor sleep/insomnia, bereavement, adjustment issues, ADHD, conduct problems, and more.

Affordable rates apply, and fee waivers are available.
