Dr. Danitz is excited to be the Early Career Psychologist Committee Chair of Division 29. Dr. Danitz is a clinical psychologist at VA Boston Healthcare System in the Women’s Health Sciences Division of the National Center for PTSD. She works as the Project Manager for Dr. Katherine Iverson’s study on implementing and disseminating an intervention for women veterans who have experienced intimate partner violence. In addition to her clinical research role, she sees patients in the Women’s Trauma Recovery Team at VA Boston and provides clinical supervision. Dr. Danitz is passionate about supervision and training, and she serves on the internship selection committee at VA Boston and supervises trainees. Dr. Danitz also works part time as a consultant on research studies for treatment-resistant PTSD. Dr. Danitz’s research interests are in mindfulness and acceptance-based behavioral interventions, outcomes of psychotherapy that include increasing quality of life and valued action, and dissemination and implementation more broadly. Dr. Danitz’s clinical interests are in evidence-based treatments for trauma, mood, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive related disorders in both veteran and civilian populations. Outside of work, Dr. Danitz enjoys yoga and dancing, and she is excited to engage in a 200 hour yoga teacher training certification this winter. She is thrilled to be a part of division 29 and is looking forward to working with the board and the division 29 community more broadly to better meet the needs of early career psychologists and to advance psychotherapy.
