The Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai West offers one of the only addiction post-doctoral fellowships for psychologists in the country. Each year, the Fellow joins our mutli-disciplinary staff and receive intensive training in substance abuse treatment strategies in a variety of clinical settings. The training includes evaluation, intensive outpatient services, and working gay and bisexual men who use methamphetamine. In addition, we offer empirically validated treatments including motivational interviewing, DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Relapse Prevention, etc. Trainees work in different intensive programs, carry an individual caseload, supervise, and lead an evening group that is similar to having a group in private practice. There is also room to work with different populations if interested. Fellows do not need to have previous experiences in substance misuse treatment but a willingness to learn about our diverse clients we serve.
