Edward Greenblatt, Ph.D.
Dr. Edward Greenblatt, Director of Therapeutic Services at The New York Center for Children, received his doctorate in Psychology at City University of New York. He also completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Licensed in 1985, Dr. Greenblatt worked both in a clinical as well as an academic capacity at New York Hospital—Cornell Medical Center/Cornell University Medical College until 1993. He later held a number of positions at Mount Sinai Hospital including but not limited to Director of Psychology Training, Director of the Child and Adolescent Outpatient Clinic, and Clinical Director of The KIDS & Families Program for 9/11. He also taught and supervised graduate students and residents at Mount Sinai School of Medicine for many years.
At the New York Center for Children, Dr. Greenblatt continues to work both as a supervisor and as an educator. In addition to overseeing social work staff and working to expand current clinical programs, Dr. Greenblatt has piloted—and now runs—a psychology externship at the Center. Externs are chosen through a selective application process and serve as therapists at the Center for a year, gaining priceless experience as well as exposure to this very specialized child population. Dr. Greenblatt consistently works to develop additional therapy programs, expand group therapy options, and creatively enhance the Center’s work in any way possible. Currently, he is piloting a research project to evaluate clients’ participation in treatment with the goal of improving access to therapy services for abused children.
