About the Education Psychology Clinic

Purpose

For more than thirty years, the Educational Psychology Clinic at California State University, Long Beach has served as a primary training site for the School Psychology, Counseling, and Reading/Language Arts Specialist Credential Program while providing comprehensive educational and psychological services to school age children at a moderate cost. In 2006, the Marriage and Family Therapy program began to provide individual and couples counseling to adult and children. Services at the Clinic are provided by graduate students under the direct supervision of faculty in the College of Education.

Scholarships

The Clinic is the only service of its kind in the immediate area. The Clinic’s administration fees are significantly lower than other providers of the same service. CSULB students and their children receive a 50% reduction of the administration fees. An 80% fee reduction may be applied to children who receive free or reduced cost school lunch or families below the poverty level. Applications for scholarships must be returned with the completed application packet to be eligibile for the fee reduction. Only a limited number of scholarships are available for the Tutoring (academic intervention) services.

Services Available

The Educational Psychology Clinic offers counseling services to children, adolescents and adults and psychoeducational testing to children ages 3 through 17, and tutoring to children ages 6 to 11.
