ABOUT ME

I’m Carl Waitz, PsyD, a licensed Psychologist based in Brookline.

I earned my doctoral degree in clinical psychology in the APA accredited program at Azusa Pacific University. My clinical rotations included public and private schools, community mental health clinics, residential psychiatric hospitals, and acute psychiatric hospitals.

I completed internship training at the UT Health San Antonio medical school and my fellowship training at the Suicide Prevention and Resilience at Children's (SPARC) program at Children's Medical Center in Dallas, Texas; both of these programs are accredited by the APA.

​

Currently, I am an attending psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital and on faculty at Harvard Medical School. In my role, I conduct individual, group, and family therapy as well as psychological testing and consultation to medical staff. In addition to direct care, I oversee quality improvement efforts on the unit, provide clinical supervision to psychiatry and psychology trainees, and teach both at the hospital and in classes at Lesley University and Boston University.
