Suffolk’s PhD in Clinical Psychology program involves systematic and cumulative training in both psychological research and practice in order to prepare students for careers in practice, research, or academic settings. Our curriculum will help you examine the brain, the person, and the cultural context of individual development—all within a career-oriented program.
Whether working in one of our research labs or with one of our faculty members, you will be able to expand your expertise into a variety of areas, such as emotion, body image, bullying, anxiety disorders, and mindfulness.

Our PhD in Clinical Psychology program seeks to prepare students to be competent clinical psychologists who function with ethical and cultural awareness in academic, research, clinical, or community settings. Suffolk students are taught the processes underlying adaptation and maladaptation within a cultural and biopsychosocial frame. Throughout all aspects of training, the program encourages an awareness of and respect for diversity.

Our faculty approach intervention and psychotherapy from a variety of perspectives, including behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, psychodynamic, systemic, humanistic, and integrative/eclectic. Our intent is to enable students to take a creative, empirical, and ethical approach to diagnostic and therapeutic problems among diverse populations.
