WHO WE ARE


The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at Hackensack University Medical Center provides a full range of empirically validated psychiatric services to meet the behavioral health needs of our patients. These services reflect an unwavering commitment to our clients in four key areas:

  • The support of research to increase the efficacy of care provided to those clients
  • Ongoing provision of student education in the behavioral sciences


Clients want assurance that treatments offered are empirically validated, state-of-the-art, and safe for themselves and their loved ones.


As a teaching institution affiliated with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School, we strive to deliver the most up-to-date care. The department’s support of research to continuously apply new and proven treatments ensures clients’ quality care and peace of mind. All our programs are evaluated on an ongoing basis, using state-of-the-art outcome measures.
