Michael Greenberg, LCSW-R, ACSW is a cum laude graduate of Adelphi University, where, in 1979, he earned his MSW with a concentration in group work. He has worked at Stony Brook University Hospital since May 1983 and initially served as the first social worker for its inpatient pediatrics units.
In 1990, he became the social worker for outpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, where he also participated in the Department’s Division of Developmental Disabilities, which subsequently grew into the Matt and Debra Cody Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities.
Mr. Greenberg currently coordinates the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry’s school evaluation program, which conducts in-depth psychiatric and developmental disabilities for Eastern Suffolk BOCES and many of Suffolk County’s school districts. He participates in some of these evaluations and, when requested by the professional evaluating the child and approved by their district, observes children in the more naturalistic setting of their school to help resolve diagnostic ambiguities. More recently, he has been the social worker in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry’s Early Childhood Clinic, where he participates in program development and interdisciplinary evaluations of children ages 5 and under.
As one of the Supporting Faculty for Stony Brook’s Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Disorders (LEND) Program, Mr. Greenberg provides Clinical Training Seminars, leads the in-discipline rotation for social work and has led a portion of the out-of-discipline rotation for non-social workers.
He is a clinical instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and has participated in the training and education of medical students, residents, fellows, graduate social work students, psychology interns and nurse practitioner trainees. Mr. Greenberg serves on the core faculty of the Child Psychiatry fellowship program, where he provides group clinical supervision and has developed trainings related to working with families, community resources and multiple ASD-related topics.
