Recommendations
I have worked with Dr. Kogan on a variety of projects spanning from the military to the Veterans Administration covering topics from Diversity and Inclusion, Cultural Acclimation to Leadership Development and Career Planning. Dr. Kogan is extremely professional and is a pleasure to work with as her attention to detail is spotless.
In reference to her work with the military, Dr. Kogan's knowledge about cultural acclimation was heralded by the Base Commander as '...thorough and on-target'.
Dr. Kogan completed her Post Doctoral Fellowship at Alvarado Parkway Institute Behavioral Health System. She was extremely resourceful and ambitious as she developed curriculum, provided inservice training, and served as mentor to our pre-doctoral interns in the Psychology Department. She provided group and individual therapy for inpatient services as well as outpatient services. Dr. Kogan's excellent interpersonal skills, competence, and sense of humor made her a pleasure to work with.
