Psych (agency)

Psych is the private psychic detective agency Shawn began with Gus in the pilot episode. Their business does receive clients, but it's unknown whether or not there have been other clients than those mentioned in episodes.

History[]

Shawn started and named the agency without Gus's knowing, and called it Psych, saying the best way to make people believe you is to tell them that you're lying to them. He used Gus's credit card and forged his signature on the lease. Since the first season they have extended the office to have more rooms. The Psych office is like a second home to both Shawn and Gus with its own bathroom, kitchen, and entertainment system.

When Shawn decided to move to San Francisco in order to be with Juliet, the agency closed down. However, he later started a new agency in San Francisco: Psychphrancisco.

In Psych 2: Lassie Come Home, Shawn and Gus go back to their former office to retrieve some tools only to discover that it is now a cat café called Le Litière.

Police Involvement[]

Shawn and Gus do receive clients through their psychic detective agency but the bulk of the investigations come from involvement with the Santa Barbara Police Department. The Psych detective agency also tends to uncover past cases which wrongly incarcerated people or were closed due to lack of evidence.
