If you are interested in scheduling an appointment, please contact our Intake Line at 401.874.4264 to speak with our Intake Clinician.
Our Administrative Offices are open Monday-Thursday, 8:30-4:30, and Friday 8:30-2:00.
Individual sessions are by appointment and are made with your clinician.
Intake Process:
- Phone Screen – The PCC Graduate Clinic Assistant will contact you to schedule the Phone Screen (it is uncommon for Phone Screens to happen immediately; they must be scheduled). Phone Screens are typically a brief (10-15 minute) phone call with the Graduate Clinic Assistant to:
- gather information regarding your needs
- evaluate how we may be able to help
- provide you with referral information if we are not the best place to meet your specific clinical or assessment needs
- provide you with information about our services, confidentiality, and answer any questions you may have.
- Intake Evaluation – Shortly after your phone screen, a PCC Clinician will contact you to set up an Intake Evaluation. All efforts are made to schedule Intake Sessions within one week of your phone screen. Your Intake appointment serves several purposes:
- It gives you a chance to learn more about our clinic and the type of treatment we provide.
- It provides us with a better sense about the specifics of what is most problematic so that we can individualize our treatment approach and set goals for therapy.
It is possible that individuals who are interested in services may be placed on a waitlist. Because we are a training clinic, the number of graduate clinicians seeing clients in the PCC will change from one year to the next and, consequently, so will the number of clients that we are able to work with. We make every effort to be transparent about our waitlist and wait-times and work to stay in contact with clients on the waitlist to keep them informed about their status.
Upon completion of an Intake Evaluation, PCC Clinicians will work with you to identify a convenient day and time to arrange for ongoing appointments.
Confidentiality and Its Limits
Confidentiality means that any information that you share with a Clinician during the course of treatment will not be shared with others. Ensuring confidentiality helps to promote a trusting relationship between you and your clinician. There are, however, important exceptions to confidentiality, including (but not limited to) if your clinician suspects that you will be a harm to yourself or others, if your clinician suspects the abuse or neglect of a child or elder, and/or if clinical records are subpoenaed by a court of law.
Please feel free to discuss any questions about confidentiality with your Clinician or PCC Director. We like to keep the lines of communication open.
