Bridging clinical science, real‑world care, and the communities most affected by mental health inequities.
About
Dr. Naomi Dambreville is a child and adult Licensed Clinical Psychologist whose work sits at the intersection of equitable clinical care, mental health education, community engagement, and advocacy. Clinically, she specializes in trauma-informed care, adolescent and family mental health, emotion dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties across the lifespan, communities of color, and supporting the needs of students and trainees within academic medicine.
As a clinical educator and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System, Dr. Dambreville designs and leads training and programming that translate psychological science into practical skills for clinicians, trainees, and interdisciplinary teams. In her role as Training Director of the Child Psychology Externship at Mount Sinai Hospital’s Child, Adolescent, and Family Services (CAFS) Clinic, her teaching and clinical supervision emphasizes psychological safety, equity‑centered practice, and the real‑world application of evidence‑based care.
She also serves as co-chair of the Community Engagement Subcommittee within the MSHS Dept. of Psychiatry at MSHS, whose goal is to increase diversity and inclusion across trainee, faculty, patient, and community spaces. They support efforts to create meaningful community programming, build healthcare systems and community partnerships, and implement strategic efforts that strengthen public trust and increase mental health access.
Beyond patient care, Dr. Dambreville is deeply committed to mental health literacy and community‑engaged education. She has been featured in national media outlets, podcasts, and video interviews, and regularly speaks in schools, faith‑based organizations, and cultural spaces—helping reduce stigma and offering tools families can use in everyday life.
Dr. Dambreville launched Koze Ink Collective, a multimedia project that brings together her love of creative writing with a psychological lens for mental health education for families of color.
Across all her work, Dr. Dambreville’s goal remains the same: to make mental health knowledge accessible, human, and actionable—while honoring culture, creativity, and community as essential components of well‑being.
