The page is organized by psychological evaluations, group practices, and therapists with treatment or specialty listed in the Quad Cities. All therapists are listed alphabetically.

Disclaimer: The therapists listed on this website are local licensed professionals with the proper credentials for providing therapy as well as specific psychological interventions. Student Counseling Services (SCS) is not recommending a particular therapist over any other. Please, make sure to properly evaluate the therapist you choose for goodness-of-fit with your needs and personality; furthermore, SCS encourages you to be an informed consumer, so please don’t hesitate to try multiple therapists out until you find a therapist that “feels” right to you, and you believe will foster a positive therapeutic relationship. Below are a few advice columns on picking a therapist that works for you.

Resources for under-represented communities: All SCS counselors are culturally sensitive and trained in cultural competence; however, some students desire services tailored specifically for underrepresented communities. For these services, please visit resources for underrepresented communities.
