Cameron University established the Cameron Psychology Clinic in 2016 to better serve mental health needs in Lawton. The innovative clinic provides graduate students with hands-on training under the supervision of experienced, licensed faculty members while providing free access to mental health services to members of the community who may not otherwise have access to such care.
The clinic provides counseling services to individuals, couples and families free of charge. Children are treated within the context of families when deemed appropriate.
More information about services offered by the clinic is available by calling 580-581-3153 between 3-6 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, or 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
