The Baylor Psychiatry Clinic is a training, research and service program for Psychiatric Residents, Social Work Interns and Fellows, and Clinical Psychology Interns. A placement at the Baylor Psychiatry Clinic offers training in dynamically oriented psychotherapy for adults in individual, couple, family and group psychotherapy.

The clinic offers individual, couple, family and group treatment services on a sliding scale for a wide range of problems including relationship issues, grief and bereavement issues, mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders.
