Remembering the Passariello Colloquium

Since 2000, I’ve been hosting a website for the Passariello Colloquium, a project to which I contributed as part of a working group on LGBT Issues in the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University New England. Because the Colloquium website will soon be taken out of service, I wanted to be sure its contents would remain archived. Following is a brief history of the Colloquium and descriptions of the events we put on in 2000 and 2001. I have particularly fond memories of the 2000 Colloquium, in which students and faculty were invited to ‘walk in the shoes’ of an LGBT person and report back on their experiences. The aim of our working group, led by Dr. Susan Hawes, was to enhance the cultural competence in LGBT issues for psychology students in training through in-vivo experiences.

Presentation at Pace University: Getting started in private practice

As in years past, I presented on April 20, 2012 to the class of predoctoral interns and externs at Pace University’s counseling center on the topic, Getting Started in Private Practice. It was a pleasure to give this talk to a bright, motivated group of students who are in the final stretch of doctoral studies.

While graduate study in psychology may offer excellent clinical training, it does not begin to teach how to start and run a private practice. This year’s talk focused on topics that included niche development, social media, and clinical supervision.

The purpose of the presentation was not only to impart practical know-how, but also to counter the excessively discouraging and cautionary  characterization of private practice that unfortunately is often conveyed in graduate programs in psychology.

For more information on practice development, see the consultation page

Reduced Fee Psychiatry for Uninsured New Yorkers

In my role as Executive Director of TherapySafetyNet, I’m pleased to announce the addition of reduced fee psychiatric services as an additional benefit for uninsured clients engaged in reduced fee psychotherapy with a participating TherapySafetyNet clinician.

I’m very excited by our collaboration with Milan Patel, MD, who has joined TherapySafetyNet as consulting psychiatrist.

Our collaboration is intended to further help the vast number of uninsured New Yorkers who fall between the cracks–not eligible for social services, yet not offered employer sponsorded health insurance.

Dr. Patel’s involvment adds a much needed dimension to TherapySafetyNet, and was born out of talks I have held over the past few months both with Dr. Patel and among TherapySafetyNet’s executive committee.
