About Us

Psychological Services Connection (PSC) was formed to create a space for behavioral health providers to serve the community while staying grounded firmly in our values. PSC allows for and fosters client-centered care where our provider’s can “provide care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual preferences, needs and values, and ensure that our clients values guide all clinical decisions.” Care at PSC has a focus on the collective wellbeing of our community informed by evidence based practice.

We're all about growing and improving. Think of it like learning new things that make you feel better. By taking steps forward together, we help you become stronger and happier on your way to feeling your best.

Kindness is a big part of what we do. We aim to treat everyone with care, respect, and understanding. We want everyone to feel valued and supported on their journey to better mental health.

We aim to provide a secure and protective space for everyone who walks through our doors. We want a safe environment where people openly share and foster trust.
