The Women's Health Project offers training opportunities for graduate students and professionals interested in clinical work or research with women with histories of trauma and co-occurring substance use disorders. To a select number of candidates we offer an Adult Clinical Psychology Externship for doctoral level clinical psychology students, a second year Social Work Internship as well as a Post-Doctoral Clinical Psychology Fellowship. WHP is also a St. Luke's-Roosevelt training site for Psychiatry Residents. Trainees are offered extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of women who present with histories of trauma or abuse and/or addiction to substances. Clinicians learn to implement manualized treatments for substance use disorders, PTSD, other anxiety disorders and depression, in individual and group formats. Trainees also have the opportunity to conduct longer-term psychotherapies, based on interest and client needs.

Pre- and post-doctoral research fellowships are also available. If you are interested in applying for research positions, please contact Dr. Lisa Litt at (212) 523-2990.
