Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth

Cultivate Resilience. Embrace Growth.

At the Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we are dedicated to supporting psychological health through scientifically grounded services, including educational courses and individual behavioral health care. While our roots started in caring for the Mount Sinai workforce, our expertise is now available to the broader community. Whether you are a health care professional, facing work-related stress, or dealing with life's many challenges, our team is here to help you not just manage the ups and downs, but grow from them. Our team is equipped to handle various concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and other unique stressors.

The Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth is more than just a behavioral health program. We are at the forefront of resilience research, having developed our own measure of psychological resilience and publishing on the many factors that contribute to psychological resilience. Through federal funding and corporate partnerships, we contribute to best practices in supporting not just health care workers, but individuals from all walks of life.
