Colleen Lang, Ph.D, is the full-time Clinical Coordinator at the
Clinical Care Center of the PARTNERS Program. During her
graduate training, Dr. Lang worked for three years on adolescent
inpatient units at Zucker Hillside Hospital (of Long Island Jewish
Medical Center) and Queens Children's Psychiatric Center.
There, her training became specialized in the cognitive-behavioral
treatment of severely mentally ill adolescents and their
families. Through her work with the PARTNERS program, Dr.
Lang hopes to assist with the dissemination of evidence-based
treatment to underserved and socially disadvantaged youth.
Dr. Lang also plans to assist with the development of
trauma-focused treatment interventions specifically for adolescents
and to continue investigating the subject of her dissertation:
coping skills used by adolescents in response to community violence
exposure. Dr. Lang also works part-time in private practice
and in autism research at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
