Graduate Students and FTRG Externs

I graduated with my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Adelphi University and have been a LMHC since 2018. I have held many different positions in the past 10 years most recently as a therapist. My experience has allowed me to see the impact and consequences of trauma and lack of resources on the healthy functioning of adults and children. I plan to pursue a Clinical Psychology PhD where I can utilize my experience in the field as well as with FTRG to further research efforts. My interests lie in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) as well as Perinatal Mental health and the effects of each on family dynamics, functioning and health; and how research can be used to identify barriers to assistance in order to evoke change. In the (little) free time I have, I love to read and test my baking skills by trying out new recipes.

I am a graduate of Hunter College earning my B.A. in Psychology and am currently preparing to apply to graduate programs in mental health counseling. I would like to specialize in trauma and work with domestic violence survivors and, as someone with a background in classical music, I am particularly interested in working with adolescent and professional artists and athletes to provide assistance for navigating the complicated, intensive environments they are a part of. In my free time, I love to go to amusement parks, watch horror movies, and read every genre from romance to thriller.

I am currently in my last year of the Forensic Psychology Masters Program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I minored in Addiction Studies while I was in the undergraduate program, and I hope to become a CASAC-T soon. I aim to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology once I graduate. In my spare time, I enjoy creative writing, going to Yankee games, and playing video games with friends.

I graduated from Washington and Lee University with a BS in Cognitive and Behavioral Science, and I am currently taking a gap year before starting dental school. I am interested in leveraging research and my psychology background to improve patient care, so I am very excited to be part of the FTRG dental fear study. In my free time, I enjoy running in Central Park and drawing.

I am a junior at NYU studying psychology with a minor in economics (theory track) and play for the varsity baseball team.  I am interested in pursuing career paths within industrial psychology and organizational development. I aim to apply psychological principles to improve workplace efficiency, employee satisfaction, and business outcomes.  I love to exercise, play pickleball, and cook in my free time!

My name is Amy, I am a Mental Health Counseling master's student at Brooklyn College and aim to pursue a Clinical Psychology PhD. In my free time I enjoy reading novels with a cup of coffee.

I am a third-year psychology major and studio art minor at the City College of New York. After I graduate, I intend to work towards becoming a licensed professional clinical counselor and would ultimately like to work with children. After an eye-opening summer abroad experience, I am also interested in exploring certificate programs for creative arts therapies. In my free time, I enjoy knitting, swimming, and piecing together challenging jigsaw puzzles.

I’m a sophomore at Columbia University, pursuing a major in Neuroscience and Behavior with a minor in Visual Arts, on the pre-dental track. My passion lies in the intersection between aesthetics, dental medicine, and mental health. In my free time, I enjoy painting portraits of friends, diving into different books, and experimenting with new recipes!

I am a current graduate student in the M.S. Computer Science program at St. John's University. I plan to use this degree in my future research aspirations by implementing artificial intelligence in the clinical psychology world.  My future goal is to pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with my main focus on children and adolescents.

I'm currently a Master's student at Arizona State University studying psychology. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from UC San Diego, and plan to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical or social psychology. My primary research interest is romantic relationships and emotions, as well as understanding how communication influences them. I still live in San Diego, CA and enjoy going to the beach, reading, and working out in my free time!

I am a recent graduate of Macaulay Honors at The City College of New York, where I majored in Biology and minored in Psychology. I will soon be applying to physician assistant school, where I also hope to pursue a career in public health. I am passionate about exploring the intersection between clinical psychology and medicine. In my free time, I enjoy learning new languages, journaling, and running.
