Craig Polizzi, PhD, is an Interprofessional Advanced Addictions Fellow at the VA Boston Healthcare System. He earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from Binghamton University (SUNY) and completed his predoctoral internship with the VA Boston’s PTSD Clinical Team. Dr. Polizzi’s research focuses on coping mechanisms in the context of trauma and resilience, aiming to enhance current interventions and identify novel treatments. Specifically, his work examines self-regulatory coping strategies (e.g., mindfulness, emotion regulation, resilience factors) as moderators and mediators in the treatment of co-occurring PTSD and substance use disorder (SUD). Additionally, Dr. Polizzi is dedicated to developing, refining, and evaluating adjunctive interventions that can optimize the efficacy of evidence-based treatments by targeting comorbid conditions, including PTSD, SUD, and depression.
