COVID-19 Update: The MU Psychological Services Clinic (PSC) and Center for
Evidence-Based Youth Mental Health (CEBYMH) ARE OPEN and providing services to
adults, youths, and families. We are offering both in-person and telehealth
(secure videoconference) assessment and therapy services. Our office staff will
talk with clients about which option may work best for them. Commitment to
Anti-Racism: The MU Psychological Services Clinic (PSC) and Center for
Evidence-Based Youth Mental Health (CEBYMH) are outraged and saddened by the
multiple occurrences of police brutality and injustice against Black and Brown
communities (Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Michael Brown, and too many others).
These are the result of long-standing structurally racist systems that devalue
Black and Brown lives. The disproportionate impact of these inequities is felt

committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for these individuals.
We are also aiming to increase provider representation and knowledge in our
clinic by working with clinicians and consultants of diverse backgrounds.
Furthermore, we are committed to bettering our community and ensuring the safety
and well-being of Black and Brown lives. Commitment to Multiculturalism: At the
MU PSC, we view providing access to affordable, quality mental health services
for all as a central part of our mission. We strive to be a safe and affirming

racial/ethnic identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status,
immigration status, income, age, rural/urban residency, and more. Our providers
