Program Description

The Clinical Psychology Program at Woodhull Medical Center is under the auspices of the Department of Behavioral Health. The program provides a generalist training within a clinical model to meet the mental health needs of underserved populations in an ethnically diverse city environment. All psychologists-in-training are required to participate in a year-long core rotation in the Adult (AOPD) and Child & Adolescent (CAOPD) Outpatient Departments and a 3-month rotation on Inpatient Services. Psychologists-in-training are also required to develop an area of interest by selecting from minor rotations. Minor rotations are dependent upon supervisory availability, and include: HIV Center, Chemical Dependency Treatment Services, Mobile Crisis Team, Bilingual Community Outreach (Spanish/English) Service, DBT, Bariatric, ACT, LGBTQ+, Consultation/Liaison (BBI), and Group Psychotherapy. Psychologists-in-training will participate in a didactic seminar series and will have the opportunity to attend Grand Rounds when available. Psychologists-in-training will develop competence in a) working with a wide range of presenting problems; b) diagnostic, assessment and psychotherapy, c) adult, adolescent, and child group psychotherapy; d) multi-disciplinary collaboration; e) consulting to schools; f) conveying psychological knowledge to others e) providing therapy within a bilingual English/Spanish/bicultural framework, if applicable. We offer significant supervision in all minor and core rotations. Training supervisors work from a variety of theoretical orientations, including Psychodynamic, CBT, Family Systems, Multicultural, and Interpersonal Perspectives, offer psychologists-in-training supportive supervision, and seek to enhance trainees' professional development.
