STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State University’s Psychology Clinic invites the Starkville and university communities to make use of the wide range of mental health services including therapy, assessment and telehealth options at its new location in Rice Hall.

At Friday’s [Aug. 30] ribbon-cutting ceremony, Emily S.H. Stafford, clinic director and an associate clinical professor of psychology, said the new location represents forward momentum for the university’s pursuit of service. The clinic, she said, is committed to making mental health care accessible to all, with services offered on a sliding-scale fee structure.

“We are thrilled to open our doors to the community and showcase our new, expanded facilities,” she said. “This move represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide high-quality, affordable mental health care to the community. We look forward to continuing our work in this enhanced space, where we can better serve our clients and support the training of future mental health professionals.”

The MSU Psychology Clinic, a nonprofit mental health service, training and research center operated by the Department of Psychology, is staffed by graduate clinicians under the supervision of licensed mental health professionals. In addition to providing a broad range of care options, the clinic is actively involved in community outreach initiatives, offering services like mental health screenings and participating in service-grant activities.
