Overview
TidalHealth's Postdoctoral Clinical Psychology Consortium partners with TidalHealth Behavioral Health, the Child & Family Center (CFC), and Crossroads Early Intervention & Training (EIT) to provide postdoctoral fellows with opportunities for comprehensive clinical training.
TidalHealth Behavioral Health
TidalHealth Behavioral Health offers outpatient services, partial hospitalization programs, inpatient services, emergency services including the TidalHealth Crisis Center, and addictions services. Across settings, psychiatry and behavioral health providers work closely to offer well-coordinated and collaborative care.
TidalHealth’s highly skilled clinical team provides trauma-informed, compassionate behavioral healthcare to help patients successfully manage their symptoms. Services are offered for children, adolescents, and adults with behavioral health needs including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and other mental health needs. Services include psychiatric assessments, individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, and medication management.
Across settings, TidalHealth promotes care coordination within the hospital, as well as with outside providers. In the hospital setting, fellows are consulted to conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations across departments, develop comprehensive treatment plans, coordinate care among providers within and outside the hospital, offer training, and supportive services to other providers, offer evidence-based interventions, and supervise master’s-level clinicians.
The Child & Family Center (CFC)
The Child & Family Center (CFC) is a group practice that offers empirically supported treatment approaches (e.g., CBT, DBT, behavior therapy, play therapy, EMDR) to treat a wide variety of mental health needs for individuals of all ages, including very young children and caregivers.
The CFC offers comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments for ADHD & executive functioning, autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, and psychological disorders. The CFC also is contracted by the Department of Social Services in the surrounding counties to conduct psychological assessments and fit-to-parent evaluations for families involved in the child welfare system. The CFC believes in a whole-person approach in which assessment and accurate diagnosing drives treatment planning and recommendations. Clinicians work closely with allied professionals to promote collaborative care and wraparound services for patients.
Fellows will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of providers and have the opportunity to hone therapeutic and assessment skills with specific populations with whom they seek additional training to gain expertise. The CFC also offers developmental evaluations and early intervention services for children birth through 5-years old who have experienced ACEs. These services are grant-funded and part of an IRB-approved research study. Fellows are able to conduct assessments, offer early intervention services, and assist with data collection, analysis, grant writing, and publication efforts.
Crossroads Early Intervention & Training (EIT)
Crossroads Early Intervention & Training is a non-profit designed to offer comprehensive assessments and early intervention services for high-risk, underserved populations. Children are afforded comprehensive assessments and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment is offered in which the child and his/her family is afforded a wide range of services as needed. Services include play therapy, trauma-informed therapy, school readiness sessions, occupational therapy, and attachment-based parenting workshops. Crossroads EIT also provides supervision to master’s level students in training. Fellows have the opportunity to conduct assessments, offer early intervention services including parenting groups, and supervise master’s level students.
