Cara Spitalewitz, Ph.D.

I received my B.A. in English & Comparative Literature (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) from Columbia University, and my Ed.M. in Human Development & Psychology from Harvard University, where I was honored with a full scholarship. I went on to receive my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University-Brooklyn. I completed my clinical internship at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in their dual specialization program, which provided training with individuals of all ages. I went on to complete my postdoctoral training at Bellevue Hospital Center. Before starting my private practice, I was a supervising psychologist at Bellevue and a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine.

In addition to my private practice, I am currently a supervising psychologist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
