She is an Assistant Professor in Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University. Dr. Capone works with military veterans in the Trauma Recovery Services clinic at the VA where she provides individual and group psychotherapy related to co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use. She serves as a clinical supervisor and research mentor to psychology and psychiatry residents who are learning to deliver evidence-based psychotherapies and conduct clinical research. Informed by her clinical work with veterans, Dr. Capone became interested in how to best address trauma-related guilt and shame, a common and vexing problem that arose again and again in therapy and for many clients presented a formidable barrier to wellness and recovery. Dr. Capone’s research interests have focused on this area for the past several years and she currently has a research grant funded by the Department of Defense. Dr. Capone also conducts research in novel treatments for co-occurring PTSD and substance use and has published several manuscripts in this area.view less
