Psy.D., Rutgers University
Monica Indart's primary professional interests include: early
intervention in trauma, treatment of complex posttraumatic stress
disorder, crisis intervention, disaster mental health services, grief,
loss and mourning, HIV/AIDS, and the primacy of culture in trauma response and healing. Her work encompasses clinical and community
practice, as exemplified by the three-and-a-half years she served as a
clinical supervisor and project officer on a SAMHSA/FEMA-funded
9/11 crisis counseling project. Dr. Indart maintains a private practice in
Maplewood, New Jersey, where her clinical work is informed by the
integration of psychodynamic principles, cognitive behavioral
interventions, and the neuroscience of traumatic experience--all with
in the framework of culturally-specific narrative meaning. She is a
consultant to the New Jersey Division of Mental Services, Disaster and
Terrorism Branch, where she provides clinical services in the wake of
traumatic events and disasters, as well as workforce development through
training and the development of a certification in disaster response
crisis counseling that is the first such certification in the nation.
Since 2004, she has served as a consultant to the United Nations,
providing training, program development, and program evaluation services
on issues related to crisis management, trauma, grief and loss, and
change management for a global humanitarian workforce. In March 2005,
she provided training and consultation to the UN office in Bangkok,
Thailand, following the December 2004 tsunami. For the past 18
months, her international work has focused on developing projects in
Uganda and Rwanda that integrate culturally based trauma interventions
with peace-building activities.
