Though he has been a practicing clinical psychologist for nearly three full decades, Dr. Michael Civin knew even before then that an extensive education was a necessity to become the best he could be. Obviously, he still believes this because he has never stopped pursuing academic education, to go along with the learning he gets from extensive experience.

His education started more than a half century ago, when the future Dr. Michael Civin obtained his A.B. degree cum laude with honors from Harvard. A year later, he attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine for a time, before going on to earn his first Masters of Arts degree in 1970 from the University of Oregon. He obviously wasn’t satisfied, since the future Michael A. Civin Ph.D earned a second Masters of Arts degree, this time in Clinical Psychology in 1986, from the Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University. When he earned his medical degree from the same institution in 1988, he earned the right to call himself Michael A. Civin, Ph.D. in 1988 and in 1993, Adelphi awarded him a Postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.

Currently Michael Civin, Ph.D. has nearly 30 years' experience as a practicing psychologist. He practices at Rose Hill Psychological Services in the Bronx, New York City, as a senior psychologist. That is in addition to but he also practices from his own offices, which are located in Manhattan, Astoria, and Bayville. In fact, Dr. Michael Civin even co-founded Rose Hill in 2008, as a way to provide affordable psychological services to underserved communities.

From his own practice, Michael Civin, Ph.D. primarily practices in the field of psychodiagnostics, which is a branch of psychology that uses massive testing to evaluates personality and human behavior. Even before he started practicing, Michael A Civin, Ph.D. realized even before then that he needed a great education to get where he wanted to be. That is why he earned an A.B. degree from Harvard nearly a half century ago and followed that with medical school, two Master of Arts degrees, and a medical doctorate. That is he is known as Dr. Michael A Civin, Ph.D nowadays.
