New Clients
Please see the banner at the top of this page for the updated status of our caseload. If you're interested in our services and we have openings, please contact us at psc@niu.edu.
We begin with a brief phone call to get more information about why you’re seeking services, some basic demographic information and to tell you a bit about our clinic. If we are a good fit, then we will set up an initial problem assessment or intake appointment during that phone call.

Emergency Resources
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, or worried about someone close to you, please call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department and ask to speak to the psychiatrist on call. As an alternative to the emergency room, the Ben Gordon Center also hosts a Living Room, a 24/7 space where no appointment is needed to walk in and peer recovery support specialists can assist you at no cost.
