Dr. Nakia Hamlett

I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from The University at Albany, State University of New York. I completed pre-and postdoctoral fellowships in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine on a clinical team treating children, families, and young adults experiencing serious psychiatric impairment in the context of complex trauma, poverty, parental substance abuse, domestic violence, and other intense psychosocial stressors. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Special Education, specializing in Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, from the University at Maryland, College Park.

I have worked in the field of education and mental health for two decades; fifteen years of which I’ve been working as a licensed clinical psychologist. 

I have developed expertise in the treatment of complex psychiatric problems, child development, complex trauma, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, personality, and psychological assessment. 

I am also interested in cutting edge innovative treatments and tools and have, in recent years, been developing technology within my practice. 

I am currently working on a suite of integrated AI-assisted assessment tools that will make my work easier, while also improving work flows and efficiencies for the  professions with whom I work in adjacent fields. Stay tuned for more on that!
