PhD Clinical Psychology

Collaborative mental health care fosters the interdisciplinary sharing of knowledge and expertise among mental health professionals. Having worked on several multidisciplinary teams in hospitals and clinics in the past, and as a current Clinical Psychology doctoral student, I have noticed the benefits of collaborative care. Without a doubt, it allows us to provide the best possible treatments and services to individuals affected by mental health issues as well as totheir families and friends. In the future, I hope to work in public and private health care settings and intend to integrate collaborative care into my clinical practice in both of these milieus.
