SPOTLIGHTS
FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: Laura Watkins, PhD
Laura is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Associate Director of Substance Use Services at the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program (EHVP). Laura uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety and substance use problems in the EHVP two-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which serves post-9/11 veterans and service members. Laura also provides supervision for EHVP psychology trainees and psychiatry residents. Laura coordinates the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program Patient Family Advisor Council and is a member of the Women’s Faculty committee.
Outside of Emory, Laura is a member of the Association for Behavior and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Clinical Directory and Referral Issues Committee and helps coordinate the dissemination of ABCT resources related to monthly mental health topics. She supports the Wounded Warrior Project as a member of the Warrior Care Network Clinical Practice Committee Substance Use Disorder Working Group. She serves as an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Virtual Reality in Medicine.
Laura loves working within a supportive multidisciplinary team that provides top-of-the-line patient care to veterans and service members. She also loves collaborating with team members on research and improving care. She is grateful to work with patients who struggle with comorbid PTSD and substance use issues and see these patients make substantial changes and start living according to their values within two weeks.
Laura is proud of developing a track within EHVP that services patients with comorbid substance use problems. This track meets an important need among the EHVP population, which often uses substances to avoid or cope with trauma memories and reminders. She also achieved board certification in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology in 2023, which solidified her identity as a CBT psychologist.
In the future, Laura plans to continue working to improve and expand substance use-related services in EHVP. She is also excited to continue conducting research aimed at optimizing treatment for those with comorbid PTSD and substance use disorders.
Laura is an Atlanta-native and feels so fortunate to have been able to return to the city and be closer to family after completing college, graduate school and a postdoctoral fellowship in various states around the country (MA, NE, MS and CT). Outside of work, she and her husband, Charlie, spend most of their time trying to keep up with their two young daughters, Billie Rose (5) and Joelle (almost 3). She also loves being outside, cooking/eating and traveling, especially to visit friends and family.
ADJUNCT FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: Ann Marie Decker, MD
Ann Marie Decker Frederick (she/her) is a board-certified general and child and adolescent psychiatrist and has been serving as Medical Director of Adolescent Services at Skyland Trail since September 2022.
Ann Marie completed her undergraduate training at the University of Virginia, majoring in Biology and Psychology, and received her medical degree at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Her passion for psychiatry began in her role in the Combined Accelerated Program for Psychiatry at the University of Maryland where she completed her first clinical rotation at the local forensic psychiatric hospital; there, she developed a passion for working with individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis, particularly those with involvement in the judicial system. Ann Marie completed her general psychiatry residency training at Emory University where she co-chaired committees on education, mentorship and wellness. She completed her child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina where she served as chief fellow with a primary focus on the education of more junior fellows, residents and medical students. In her clinical career, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings and levels of care in community mental health, nonprofit organizations and private practice. She now enjoys her clinical and administrative role at Skyland Trail.
Ann Marie is passionate about providing early intervention and evidence-based care. Her treatment approach focuses on collaborative care with patients, families, and interdisciplinary treatment teams. She is proud to provide gender affirming care to those who identify in the LGBTQIA+ community. She has training in psychopharmacology and multiple psychotherapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parent child interaction therapy, behavior modification, parent management training, play therapy, open dialogic practice, family systems therapy and psychodynamic therapy. She aims to support the entire family system throughout treatment to improve functional outcomes, quality of life and relationships between each member within the system. She has research experience studying emotion recognition in children with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder at the National Institutes of Mental Health.
Ann Marie is thrilled to serve as an adjunct faculty member in the department where she completed her residency training to give back to other trainees in the program. She serves as the site director at the Skyland Trail adolescent campus where she provides direct clinical supervision to first year child and adolescent psychiatry fellows. She leads complex case discussions, as well as brief educational seminars and teaching points with the fellows and the interdisciplinary treatment team at Skyland Trail. She tailors individual supervision to the unique interests of the rotating fellows and holds regular discussions regarding diagnostic considerations, pharmacologic interventions, psychotherapeutic interventions, interdisciplinary collaboration, advocacy and career mentorship.
Ann Marie is a proud wife and mother to two wonderful daughters. She enjoys an active outdoor lifestyle and you can often find her in the mountains or on the water with her family. She enjoys home renovation projects and woodworking in addition to singing, dancing and playing guitar. Colleagues might be surprised to know she founded the Harmonious Hoos A Capella singing group at the University of Virginia and sang for the Hippocratic Notes A Capella singing group at the University of Maryland School of Medicine; they performed medical parodies during a formal dinner flash mob at the 100th annual NBME convention in Washington, DC and routinely performed children’s songs at the local children's hospital and Ronald McDonald house.
MENTOR SPOTLIGHT: Gene Farber, PhD (written by Rachel Ammirati, PhD)
As I sat down to write this (during my lunchtime at Grady’s Ponce Center), I started to feel slightly anxious, and then smiled as I reflected on that anxiety. Why was I anxious? I was anxious because my office door was open and there was a good chance Gene would stop by and totally uncover my stealth attempt to sing his praises! Although I easily could have closed my door, I smiled again when I realized I did not want to. I always want Gene to stop by because any time spent with Gene is time well, and meaningfully, spent. Gene brings to my professional life a quiet wisdom that I depend on in times of uncertainty, a wisdom that sometimes sneaks up on me when I reflect on conversations we have had. In spite of being very busy, he always makes time for me, and the fact that he stops by my office so routinely – even if it is just for a brief chat or lighthearted exchange about non-work topics - reflects his sincere interest in me as a mentee and colleague. Moreover, although his instinct always is to support my ideas, I love the fact that he is never shy about respectfully disagreeing with me, and I believe this too reflects how much he genuinely cares about my professional development. I trust Gene to be candid with me when candor is needed, and I similarly trust he will advocate for me when that is what I need. I also very much appreciate that Gene trusts me, as evidenced by his eagerness to get my thoughts on a variety of matters (including matters about which I have little to no experience!), as well as his willingness to challenge me with new responsibilities at the Ponce Center. In summary, Gene as a mentor is steadfast, sincere, candid, collaborative, humble and uplifting.
Truly, Gene just being himself makes him a good mentor. To put it in terms of the five-factor model of personality, he is super high in conscientiousness, agreeableness and openness, and when he commits to doing something, he does it well. Gene also is off the charts self-reflective, and I often learn important lessons from the self-reflections he shares with me. In fact, he sometimes self-reflects with me in the room! Gene’s willingness to let me in on this process is something I truly appreciate.
Without question, Gene’s unwavering support of my efforts to extend, and in some cases challenge, the clinical services we offer through the Ponce Center’s Center for Wellbeing led to me receiving the Emory Center for AIDS Research Barbara Vick Impact Award in 2019.
Regarding career-related ambitions, Gene always encourages me to focus primarily on what I like to do, rather than on what I should or could do.
PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT: VA Geriatrics Program (Jennifer Smith, PhD
The VA Geriatrics Program consists of many different specialty mental health providers, almost all working in integrated care. It includes: palliative care, oncology, cardiology, Community Living Center (nursing home), outpatient geriatric mental health (including psychotherapists and psychiatry), neuropsychology, polytrauma, spinal cord injury, home based primary care, pain management, neurology and general health psychology. The program primarily serves older Veterans, aged 65 and up, but its primary Veteran population is late 70s and older. The majority of the teams require complex medical diagnoses for treatment on those teams and are able to provide care for adjustment to life-altering health concerns as well as pre-existing mental health concerns. Additionally, the program provides behavioral education and management of many ongoing health issues, including pain management and dementia. It also offers end of life mental health work with Veterans and families, with mental health specialists specifically trained in this kind of work.
VA has long integrated mental health care into medical teams. That integration has expanded over time to branch out from primary care and include specialty medicine. Several years ago, the increase in integrated mental health in geriatric services was noted and geriatrics leadership brought these providers together as one team. The team was eventually moved into the mental health service line and has only grown since that time. The providers on this team, serve as subject matter experts and direct care providers across a total of six service lines at Atlanta VA.
This team is unique due to the integrated care model. While it works together as a unit and support each other, it also works primarily with medical professionals day-to-day. So, while the program is all mental health providers (psychology, social work and psychiatry), it spends its days with geriatricians, polytrauma physicians, neurologists, anesthesiologists, nursing, dieticians, physical therapists, recreational therapists, chaplains and more.
This team also emerged based on the needs of the aging Veteran population. Veteran patients have complex medical care needs, often due to service-related conditions (such as Agent Orange exposure), and the combination of military service with these resulting medical concerns creates a specialty care population. Atlanta VA is a leader in the nation in integrated care and number and scope of embedded geri mental health providers.
Finally, the team specifically handles dementia and death. While any mental health provider could do end of life work, it is not commonly done. This team includes providers who may conduct family therapy at end of life, sit at bedside with a dying patient or offer bereavement care. The providers feel privileged and honored to spend this time with our Veterans.
The program relies on the support of administrative staff within the mental health service line, as well as in other service lines. It also relies on the support of leadership across six service lines, some of whom do not completely understand what it does (try explaining neuropsychology to anyone outside of mental health). This program works because strong relationships have been formed and trust gained between members of leadership who believe in the value of mental health care. The ability to assist in unusual circumstances, give a brief presentation on a topic and jump in with problem solving has cultivated these relationships over time.
Members of the team serve on various Emory committees. They also serve professionally in GPA and APA, and provide supervision, mentoring and training through the department. They are always willing and able to collaborate whenever our specialties can be of use.
Something that might not be common knowledge about the program is the breadth of coverage provided. It works in outpatient settings, medical inpatient, ICU, long term care and in the home. It co-treats with medical specialties, offers same-day availability and serves as consultants. The team members provide individual (short and long term), couples, group and adult family therapy. Some of the group work is innovative, such as co-leading a tinnitus group or discussing death and dying concerns.
Anyone interested in the team or providers can contact Jennifer Smith via email or 404-321-6111 (x202483). They can also contact Mike Martin via email or 404-321-6111 (x204354). Information is available to send out about individual services provided. They are always happy to discuss development of similar teams in other locations.
