Psychological Services
It is common for students to struggle with the stress of graduate school and some may benefit from therapy themselves to help manage that stress. In cooperation with SFU, we have assembled a list of practicing psychologists who would be willing to see clinical psychology graduate students for treatment. We hope that this will be a place to start for those students seeking help.
