Program Description

The opportunity to work with culturally and ethnically diverse populations is one of the most unique features of the Psychology Internship program at Maimonides Health’s Community Mental Health Clinic in Brooklyn, New York. Our services include the first dedicated LGBTQ+ mental health outpatient clinic in Brooklyn and a perinatal mental health outpatient clinic. The internship program offered at Maimonides provides a collaborative environment in which psychology interns interact with attending psychiatrists, resident psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, social work interns, and psychology externs.

Interns accepted into our program participate in three four-month rotations: inpatient, assessment and disposition, and wellness/recovery for individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness. A sub-rotation one day a week in our Psychiatric ED is included in the assessment and disposition rotation. Interns also carry 10 long-term outpatient therapy cases (4-6 child/adolescent and 4-6 adult) and are expected to complete at least three comprehensive psychological/neuropsychological evaluations (two adult and one child/adolescent) by the end of internship. We encourage completion of more than the minimum evaluations.

There are two electives offered by our program: providing psychological services in cancer care clinic, and providing bedside psychotherapy in the consult-liaison psychiatry service. Interns also have the opportunity to join either the LGBTQIA or perinatal mental health subclinic in order to build expertise in LGBTQIA mental healthcare or perinatal mental healthcare.

Our faculty includes psychologists with cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and integrative theoretical orientations. Supervision includes at least two hours of individual and two hours of group supervision each week by licensed psychologists and other licensed staff (MD, DO, LCSW). Additionally, each intern is assigned a psychology extern to provide peer supervision and clinical supervision on one therapy case and the extern's testing cases.

Interns are encouraged to participate in research studies and in the teaching of psychiatry residents through the psychiatry residency’s formal didactics program. Finally, interns receive weekly one-hour didactic seminars and weekly psychiatry grand rounds, covering a broad variety of topics in order to continue the process of instructive learning and professional development.

To apply to the internship program at Maimonides Health, please include one de-identified case summary, one de-identified psychological/neuropsychological assessment evaluation, and three letters of recommendation.
