What should I do if I am unhappy with my therapy or feel that my rights have been abused?
We ask that you first raise this question with your therapist, if you feel capable of doing so. Part of what makes therapy effective is the ability to discuss such matters in a therapeutic way. Sometimes, however, this may feel too threatening. In this case, the fastest and best way to get satisfaction is to talk with your therapist's supervisor and/or the PSC director. Each of these persons has a responsibility to you to see that you are getting adequate therapy and protection of your rights. To arrange for such a discussion please contact the PSC director, Dr. Karen J. White, at 815-753-0591.

In addition, you may take complaints to the Illinois Psychological Association (1-312-372-7610) or the American Psychological Association (1-202-955-7600) which monitor the ethical practice of psychology for members of those organizations, or the Department of Professional Regulation for the State of Illinois, 320 West Washington St., Springfield, Illinois 62785 (1-217-785-0800).
