In collaboration with Bellevue’s Bilingual Treatment Program (BTP) Clinic, the NYU-Bellevue Clinical Psychology Internship Program has two positions for bilingual (Spanish and English speaking) interns who wish to enhance their skills in treating bilingual and bicultural patients.
The BTP Clinic is a specialized outpatient mental health clinic that was created to address the psychological, psychiatric, and psychosocial needs of Hispanic communities. Its mission is to provide patients with culturally and linguistically relevant and competent services, and to provide interns a supportive, enriching training environment. This track is best suited for those who are committed to more effectively serving Hispanic communities.
Interns in this track will focus on understanding the complicated interactions associated with sociocultural, linguistic and national heterogeneity that can affect the mental health evaluation and treatment of Hispanic patients. Interns will participate in all the activities (clinical and didactic) of the regular internship program, but will spend one of their three rotations at the BTP Clinic, and will derive approximately half of their caseloads from the Clinic. Group and family therapy supervision will also be provided within the BTP.
This track provides trainees multiple opportunities to particiapte in a variety of psychotherapeutic services that entail intensive work with a wide range of Hispanic patients. Many of these patients also present with concomitant histories of trauma, medical problems, and multiple psychosocial needs. Interns can expect to participate in interview and evaluation processes, individual and group psychotherapy, family/couples therapy, health psychology services, crisis intervention, psychodiagnostic /neuropsychological testing, and an array of psychoeducation efforts.
