An Anxiety Clinic has opened at CSUN to serve the community and provide hands-on training for psychology students.
The clinic is staffed by six to eight graduate students in the Psychology Department master's program in clinical health. It plans to serve up to 50 clients a semester.
The students will be under the supervision of CSUN professor Ronald Doctor, a clinical psychologist who has worked in the area of anxiety disorders for 30 years.
Doctor said that although college counseling clinics treat the problem, CSUN is among the few schools, which include the University of Pennsylvania and the State University of New York at Stony Brook, offering such services to the public.
