The Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Health Service Psychology is a year-long rigorous program housed in an interdisciplinary setting. The fellowship training model aims to prepare the fellows to become competent, independent practitioners in the field of professional psychology, and to be equipped to work with underserved youth and within integrated healthcare settings. We aim to train fellows to become, confident, and comfortable providing developmentally and culturally sensitive intervention and assessment services to historically underserved youth. To this end, we have aligned the model for our training program with the mission of the MSAHC – to break down racial, social, and economic barriers to health care, health, and well-being for young people by providing vital services—high quality, comprehensive, integrated, confidential, and at no cost to them—for all who come to us. We provide these services to promote equity and within the frameworks of racial, social, economic, and sexual and reproductive justice.
The fellowship experience is divided among direct-service clinical training activities, supervision, didactic instruction, and a program development initiative/project.
The High Risk and DBT fellow will gain expertise in the provision of psychotherapy to underserved youth (ages 10-26) and their families, with a focus on working with youth in their community who are high risk for suicide and self-harm. A large portion of the fellow’s caseload will consist of adolescents and young adults enrolled in our clinic’s DBT program. The fellow would provide individual DBT and crisis phone coaching and co-lead a weekly, 60-minute DBT skills group. The fellow will also attend a weekly DBT consultation group.
Fellows attend weekly one-hour didactics with fellows from across the MSHS. Fellows also have the opportunity to supervise junior trainees throughout their post-doctoral training year. Fellows participate in a weekly supervision of supervision group which includes psychology fellows from across the MSHS.
Fellows participate in a quality improvement/program development initiative. Examples of past projects include aiding the DBT Program Director in improvement of the DBT program, and formalizing processes, policies, and procedures for specialty programs in our primary care clinic. These initiatives often involve collaboration with interdisciplinary teams from across the Mount Sinai Health System (MSHS).
