Our staff is committed to providing comprehensive psychiatric and psychological care to people of all ages throughout southern New Jersey. Our team consists of board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatry residents, psychologists, psychotherapists, advanced practice providers, and social workers.
Within the Children's Regional Hospital at Cooper, our staff treat a wide range of child and adolescent problems, including those related to mother-infant bonding, psychosomatic illnesses, post-traumatic stress disorders, and psycho-physiological disorders. Psychological testing and treatment are available for children from infancy through adolescence.
Our hospital-based services for adults include our acute inpatient psychiatric unit, which uses a holistic treatment approach. The team provides a range of therapies, including psychotherapy, music therapy, art therapy, medication management, and other therapeutic supports.
Cooper’s Division of Consultation-Liaison & Emergency Psychiatry evaluates adult and pediatric patients in the emergency department and on medical and surgical floors, working closely with primary teams to support patients’ mental health needs.
We are committed to training the next generation of healthcare providers, with interdisciplinary trainees from psychiatry, psychology, neurology, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and more. We also offer ongoing education throughout the health system to help non-psychiatry staff effectively manage the behavioral needs in their patients.
