Education

Dr. Greenbaum grew up in New York and obtained a B.A. in Psychology from Dartmouth College, graduating cum laude with departmental high honors. She then earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from New York University (NYU), where she received university-wide and national recognition for her clinical work, research, and academic writing. Dr. Greenbaum’s education culminated with a clinical internship in adult psychology at Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in adolescent psychology at Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance.

Experience

Unlike many clinicians who train to work with either youth or adults, Dr. Greenbaum sought out intensive training to be able to competently treat both adolescents and adults. Her clinical experience includes work with adolescents and adults in outpatient and inpatient hospital settings, a college counseling center, a primary care clinic, a psychiatric emergency room, a VA Medical Center, a psychiatric evaluation service, juvenile detention centers, a juvenile court, an academic medical center, and middle and high schools. Across these settings, she conducted individual and group psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations, and forensic evaluations. Dr. Greenbaum has also consulted to schools to perform psychiatric evaluations and risk assessments for youth struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges. As a Court Clinician in the Massachusetts Trial Court system, she performed forensic evaluations and provided oral testimony around issues of custody, parenting and visitation time, parental alienation, and allegations of abuse.

Current Work

Dr. Greenbaum currently divides her time among clinical, teaching, and educational coaching roles. As the Founder and Director of Premier Psychology Group, she conducts psychotherapy with adolescent and adult clients. As a faculty member at NYU, Dr. Greenbaum instructs graduate courses on counseling theory and technique. Dr. Greenbaum also directs Psychology Doctoral Prep, an educational consulting business dedicated to working with applicants to psychology doctoral programs in order to maximize their competitiveness.

Research

Dr. Greenbaum is trained as a clinician and a scientist, which enables her to approach her clinical work with a robust knowledge of empirically validated treatments as well as the critical thinking skills necessary to be a flexible and perceptive therapist. She has conducted research on a number of topics, including expressive writing, mental health disparities, trauma, police-based juvenile diversion, and school-based mental health care.
