I received both my masters and my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Long Island University- Post. In this intensive program, I completed the Applied Child track, focusing my work with children, adolescents and families. I took coursework in behavioral intervention strategies with children as well as school consultation. I then sought out training opportunities in a range of clinical settings including preschool, middle school, inpatient psychiatric settings, and outpatient clinics. My goal was to experience the full spectrum of childhood, including both typical and atypical development.
