Southern Utah University's Community Counseling and Assessment Clinic provides specialized mental health services to Iron County and surrounding regions using a sliding scale fee structure. The clinic, located in the Bennion Building, does not accept insurance and requires all fees to be paid out of pocket at the time of service.
Clinic Services and Pricing
The Community Counseling and Assessment Clinic (CCAC) operates with a commitment to accessible services for the local community. According to the clinic, all service fees are determined by a sliding scale based on the individual's income and family size. This structure includes costs for therapy, psychological assessments, autism assessments, and neuropsychological assessments.
