Biography
Dr. Susan Strickland has worked as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Psychologist, providing counseling services in outpatient and long-term care programs, since 1994. This background had helped her gain a broad understanding of cognitive impairments, brain-behavior relationships, dual diagnosis, adjustment-related counseling, and clinical interventions for individuals with neurological impairments.
She worked on a vocational team consulting the New York State Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities. Following a five-year grant, assessment and outcome data was submitted to Mt. Sinai Research Center, which contributed to a research article, “A Program Without Walls for Individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury and Job Placement.”
Dr. Strickland was awarded a volunteer and Medical Honoree award from the Brain Injury Association of NYS in 2016. This award represented service to individuals with brain injury in the medical community. She served on the Board of Directors for BIANYS from 2002-04 and was active in fundraising for the organization.
