FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY EMERGE provides forensic psychology services to help improve the court’s understanding and responsiveness to the mental health needs of those involved with the criminal justice system. Services include psychological assessment of individuals with a focus on the dynamic and static risk factors for criminal behavior. EMERGE presents psychological reports to the court that provide information regarding mitigating factors in sentencing as well as evidence-based treatment recommendations for rehabilitation that help lead justice-involved individuals toward desistance from criminal activity. EMERGE also works with civil attorneys providing psychological consultation, evaluation and treatment, as well as expert testimony. The program is led by Dr. Jennie Singer, a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working in the field of forensic psychology since 1995.

PERFORMANCE and SPORT PSYCHOLOGY The “mental game” is increasingly recognized as central to elite performance in both sports and life. While performance and sport psychology is highly utilized in college athletics and professional life, it gets little attention in high school where the need is just as great. The EMERGE Performance and Sport Psychology program is focused on helping students understand and utilize decades of clinical research and knowledge around what it takes to perform at a peak level in any area of performance, including academics, sports, dance, drama and life. We are currently developing curriculum for SportPsych 101 and 201, six-week psychoeducational classes for high school athletes. We also hope to develop a Performance Psychology class based on the same core material. ​ Currently, we offer individual performance coaching and therapy to help students work on specific issues of concern.

MENTORÍA El mentor adecuado puede ayudar a un joven a crecer y desarrollarse a medida que se enfrenta a los numerosos cambios físicos, sociales y emocionales que acompañan a la adolescencia. Las relaciones de mentoría se presentan de muchas formas, pero todas requieren un mentor confiable, digno de confianza y sintonizado que tenga interés en ayudar a un joven a alcanzar su potencial. El programa de mentores de EMERGE es único en el sentido de que es flexible para adaptarse a diferentes niveles de necesidad. Los alumnos que necesitan orientación y estímulo pueden beneficiarse de tan solo una hora a la semana. Sin embargo, el apoyo más intensivo puede incluir varias horas al día o a la semana. Las sesiones de tutoría pueden tener lugar en casa, en la comunidad o en la oficina de EMERGE. El delicado equilibrio de ser mentor de alguien no es crearlo a su propia imagen, sino brindarle la oportunidad de crearse a sí mismo. Steven Spielberg Los mentores de EMERGE adoptan un enfoque terapéutico para su trabajo utilizando las mejores prácticas en la construcción de relaciones y una conciencia continua del desarrollo de la juventud. Los mentores de EMERGE tienen la flexibilidad de interactuar con los jóvenes en una variedad de entornos a través de muchas actividades diferentes. Sin embargo, el objetivo general es el crecimiento social y emocional del aprendiz. Aprende más
