The USFQ Mental Health Center (MHC) emerged from a joint collaboration between the Psychology Department at USFQ and SIME (Medical Systems USFQ). It works as a training platform for Clinical Psychology students and offers psychological and outpatient psycho educational services to our community, with accessible pricing for vulnerable and unattended populations. 

Our center believes that mental health is a fundamental component for personal, academic and professional development and because of this, our services are directed to increase the accessibility, information and evidence based treatments for all of our community. We wish to erradicate the stigma associated with the mental health conditions in order to improve social inclusion.

One of our most recent achievements has been the beginning of a strong collaboration with McLean Psychiatric Hospital (an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School). This collaboration has helped us train our professionals with evidence based  treatments in order to strengthen our services and promote education about mental health to our community. In the same way, the USFQ MHC has created an strategic collaborative agreement with the IOCDF (International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation) a non profit organization supported by donors that provides resources and support to the people affected by obsessive compulsive disorder, offers the latest evidence based treatments and brings community support.
Our goal is to become a mental health reference in the next ten years in our community, country and Latin America.
