The Doctoral Student Clinicians are an enthusiastic team of students from the doctoral programs in clinical and school psychology PsyD and PhD programs at Rutgers University. The high quality of the Rutgers programs, along with the intensive level of training and supervision provided, allows students to become experts in the evaluation and treatment of Tourette Syndrome and its co-occurring disorders. The students are the future practitioners for individuals with TS, a specialized area of psychological care with alarmingly few experienced practitioners accessible to the community. The students’ ability to provide relief and assistance to families in need has built the reputation of the Rutgers Tourette Syndrome Clinic, allowing it to become a premier location in New Jersey for the behavioral treatment of TS-related issues.
