We are a non-profit training clinic, which allows us to provide clients with professional, confidential psychological services that are affordable. The initial intake and therapy session fees are determined with your clinician at the beginning of treatment using a sliding scale (range: $10-$40 per session; based on income). Fees for assessment services are currently reduced to a flat rate of $100 for basic diagnostic assessments and $200 for ADHD evaluations. Of note, fees must be paid by the client, as we do not work with insurance companies.
Yes, you will need to schedule an appointment because our clinic does not offer walk-in services.
We try to ensure that all prospective clients receive appointments as soon as possible. However, due to our affordable services, we are often operating on a waitlist. Our staff will let you know your position on the waitlist when you contact us about our services.
Thank you for your interest in our services. We do provide psycho-educational evaluations for UNCW students. As you are eligible for professional counseling services through the UNCW Counseling Center, you are advised to first consider their services as the Counseling Center's mission is to serve the needs of students. However, if appropriate, UNCW students are also welcome to receive therapy or assessment services through GPAC.

No, the UNCW GPAC does not bill insurance as most plans will not reimburse for services provided by trainees.
