The purpose of the meeting is to discuss pertinent issues and teach techniques of therapy and evaluations not routinely taught in the classroom. The clinic, operated in and by the Psychology Department of the University of the Pacific, has provided stress management, biofeedback, behavior therapy, as well as children's testing and treatment services to the community since 1983. It is staffed and supervised by doctoral level faculty and graduate students who are trained and supervised to provide services to clients. In many cases, Clinic therapists work in concert with referring health care professionals regarding medication compliance, activity levels and general health in order to develop the most advantageous treatment program for the particular person. This is especially the case when there is a stress-related medical problem in which the physician is involved.
Symptomatic relief can occur as soon as the first session.
