Meet the Consultants

Consultation is an integral part of the Center for Deployment Psychology's mission to train and support behavioral health providers. CDP hosts consultation calls for all providers who have attended any of our PE and CPT training events (see https://deploymentpsych.org/consultation-call for the schedule). We invite you to get to know some of the CDP faculty members who stand by for consultation questions on those and other evidence-based psychotherapies.

Prolonged Exposure Consultants

Kelly Chrestman, Ph.D., Senior Military Behavioral Health Psychologist
Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist leading EBP Clinical Support Services at CDP. It is my job to provide consultation support to clinicians trained in EBPs and to work with the CDP team to find new and better ways to link clinicians with traditional, as well as innovative resources that will help them implement EBPs more effectively. Before coming to CDP, I worked with Dr. Edna Foa at the University of Pennsylvania where we trained numerous students and mental health professionals from the United States and other countries in techniques for treating PTSD and other anxiety disorders. I am particularly interested in complications and co-morbidities that can sometimes make EBPs more challenging to implement. I currently live near Ft. Knox, KY with my son and my husband, who is on Active Duty with the US ARMY MEDDAC. Of course, this will change with our next duty station. You never know, we could become neighbors! You can contact me at kelly.chrestman.ctr@usuhs.edu.

Cognitive Processing Therapy Consultants

Carin Lefkowitz, Psy.D., CDP Military Behavioral Health Psychologist
Greetings! I am a licensed psychologist and a Military Behavioral Health Psychologist for CDP. My main interest is in evidence-based treatment for PTSD and, while on staff at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center, I became a certified provider of PE, CPT and CBT-I. I especially enjoy helping patients (and their clinicians) consider which of these effective treatment(s) might best meet their needs. I am also a certified CPT Trainer and Consultant, and primarily provide consultation in CPT at this time. When I’m not traveling for a CDP training, I work remotely from my home outside Philadelphia. And when I’m not working, you can probably find me trying to sneak every stray cat, injured bird, or lost toad (yes, toad!) into the house without my husband noticing. You can reach me at carin.lefkowitz.ctr@usuhs.edu.

Debra Nofziger, Psy.D., Senior Military Internship Behavioral Health Psychologist, Brooke Army Medical Center
Greetings! I am a Deployment Behavioral Health Psychologist and National Cognitive Processing Therapy Trainer working with CDP. I am located specifically at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Much of my time is spent focused on the training and consultation needs of psychology and social work students, although I support the variety of providers in our clinics as the need presents itself. I have experience working with and consulting on a variety of evidence based treatments, to include CPT, PE and ACT. I spent the first 5 years of my work with the military in an Army uniform and truly enjoyed my time serving on active duty. Since that time, I have been continuing to work with the military and find it to be the most challenging and rewarding experience I could possibly think of. Although I currently live in Texas, I spent the first part of my life living in the more rural parts of the Pacific Northwest. I am such an Oregonian, that I even enjoy the cold ocean waters.  You can contact me at debra.nofziger.ctr@usuhs.edu.
