Mission
The mission of the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is to provide specialized training in the professional practice of psychology within the context of a large community mental health center. Within the concentration of either adult/ older adult or child/family populations, we train fellows to become competent licensed psychologists who can
1) help clients with severe mental illness to improve their quality of life through effective diagnosis and advanced intervention skills utilizing evidence based practices (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child Parent-Psychotherapy, Managing and Adapting Program, Seeking Safety, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and/or Recovery oriented treatment);
2) apply knowledge of research and scientific principles to clinical practice and program evaluation;
3) provide supervision in evidence based practices;
4) be sensitive to issues of cultural/ethnic diversity;
5) understand the role of psychologists in a multidisciplinary agency and work effectively as team members;
6) know and apply ethical principles, laws and regulations, and practice standards and guidelines in their professional practice; and
7) teach others about the use of clinical outcomes and importance of evidence based practice in psychology (EBPP).
