Old Town Psychological Services was established as a private company in Traverse City, MI in 1993. The founders are a father and son team who are first and second generation psychologists. Old Town Psychological Services has always operated as a clinic rather than a one-person office. This ensures that a multitude of resources are available including a variety of psychological services and a diversified staff of qualified clinicians. The organization has taken the name of the historic district in downtown Traverse City where the corporate headquarters is located. A great deal of pride is taken in our location, which has been carefully chosen and designed to make our clients feel welcome and comfortable. This type of attention to detail illustrates our concern for our clients.
