We offer a training environment where you work with clinical and clinical research faculty in treatment settings, learn from them in didactic core seminars, and are mentored by them in individual supervision and group mentorship experiences. Our residency program places you at the crossroads of clinical delivery, clinical research and education, and the ideal patient experience.

Our Department offers inpatient and outpatient clinical services. Healthcare professionals from a broad range of clinical backgrounds dedicate their unique skills and expertise to treating patients during critical periods of need for psychiatric care. Our services are mostly evaluation and consultation services. This means that we provide patients with an assessment/evaluation & treatment recommendations.

Our DEI mission is to integrate principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) into our organizational culture and policies in order to promote the emotional health and well-being of all employees, trainees, patients, research participants and our community. We are committed to creating a safe space that facilitates diverse thinking and representation, equal opportunity, an increased sense of belonging and decreased bias and stigma.
