One of the hardest parts of living as a queer person in a red state is finding affirming, knowledgeable healthcare providers. The Center for Behavioral Health (CBH) is a training clinic within Spalding University’s Professional School of Psychology that offers accessible, LGBTQ+ affirming mental healthcare. CBH clinicians are doctoral-level clinical psychology students, who are directly supervised by licensed psychologists. As a doctoral training clinic, CBH offers evidence based treatment using the most current research available.
“Two of the core values of CBH are Inclusivity and Cultural Humility… We strive to ensure our LGBTQ+ community knows that we are here to support and affirm them,” stated Dr. Norah Chapman, licensed psychologist and CBH Director. She later added, “Our doctoral practicum student clinicians [diligently prepare], ask questions, advocate for marginalized groups both personally and professionally, and consume research above and beyond what is needed to well support their clients… They embody our mission, to work with underserved individuals with compassionate, affordable, and accessible care.”
CBH opened in 2015 and provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Services available include individual, group, couple, and family therapy, as well as psychological testing. CBH clinicians are trained to support clients experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. Their Collective Care Center offers specialized services addressing racial trauma, and their ROWEN Specialty Clinic supports individuals experiencing pregnancy loss, infertility, and perinatal/postpartum anxiety and depression.
CBH is open Tuesdays through Thursdays 10AM-7PM and Fridays 9AM-6PM. Appointments are currently available over telehealth. They expect to resume in-person services in August 2021, while maintaining telehealth availability. The clinic is located on Spalding University’s campus, which is on the TARC bus line. CBH does not accept insurance, but works with clients to find a sliding scale fee that is affordable and sustainable.
