Program Description

The Health Psychology Internship Program at Woodhull Medical Center, within the Department of Behavioral Health, offers a comprehensive and immersive generalist training experience grounded in a strengths-based and compassionate approach to care. The program provides trainees with the opportunity to work with individuals and families across a range of clinical presentations, developmental stages, and life experiences. Trainees learn to understand each patient within the context of their relationships, culture, community, and lived experience, while recognizing the strengths, resilience, and resources they bring to the therapeutic process.

Psychologists-in-training complete year-long core rotations in both the Adult Outpatient Department (AOPD) and Child & Adolescent Outpatient Department (CAOPD), along with a five-month rotation in Inpatient Services. Across these settings, trainees have opportunities to develop their clinical skills while approaching each patient with curiosity, respect, and an appreciation for their individual strengths, perspectives, and experiences. Trainees also develop an area of interest through minor rotations, which are dependent on supervisory availability and may include:

  • Bilingual Community Outreach (Spanish/English)
  • Consultation/Liaison (BBI)
  • CPEP
  • Group Psychotherapy
  • Mobile Crisis
  • LGBTQ+ Services
  • Life Style Medicine 
  • Pediatric Clinic (Healthy Steps) 
  • Virology
  • Substance Use and Recovery Treatment Services (SUR)

 Trainees participate in a didactic seminar series and may attend Grand Rounds when available. Training emphasizes the development of competencies in: 

  • Working with a broad range of presenting concerns
  • Psychological assessment, diagnosis, and psychotherapy
  • Adult, adolescent, and child group psychotherapy
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration
  • Consultation with schools
  • Communicating psychological knowledge to others
  • Providing therapy within a bilingual English/Spanish and bicultural framework, when applicable 

We offer substantial supervision across core and minor rotations. Supervisors represent a range of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic, CBT, family systems, and interpersonal perspectives. Through supportive supervision, we aim to foster clinical competence, confidence, and ongoing professional development.
