Why our program could be right for you
Our program offers interns a wealth of training experiences under the leadership of a faculty and institution dedicated to training, innovation and social justice. Montefiore Einstein Psychology is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based and culturally sensitive treatments to a complex and diverse patient population.
Training at Montefiore Einstein was not just the last requisite of my doctoral training, but also a valuable and memorable experience that shaped my career in meaningful, positive ways.

A world-renowned faculty
A challenging and innovative curriculum
Our program places strong emphasis on training and education throughout the internship year. We offer intense clinical supervision across various theoretical orientations, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic integrative therapy. Interns participate in didactics days, case conferences and weekly departmental grand rounds featuring renowned speakers from around the nation. In addition, interns are offered opportunities to participate in research and writing projects, and to present their work at conferences, in the hospital and within the community.
Many years later, I still find myself quoting supervisors and mentors from the Adult Specialization Internship Program, and reflecting on how much they helped me grow and develop into who I am as a psychologist today.
