Dr. Pidano earned her undergraduate degree in psychology at Smith College and, after her academic training at SUNY Albany, completed an internship in clinical psychology at the University of Virginia Hospital As a new Ph.D., her first job was at Convalescent Hospital (now Crestwood Children’s Center) in Rochester, NY. From there she moved on to spend five years at Genesee Valley Group Health as a staff psychologist and Chief of Service for Mental Health. Her experience at GVGH initiated a long term interest in collaboration among mental health and medical professionals.

In 1986 she returned to New England and worked for over 19 years at the The Village for Families and Children in Hartford, first as Program Director and Vice President of Child Guidance Services and then as Director of Psychology Internship Training. She is licensed as a psychologist in Connecticut and spent many years supervising both interns and staff at the Village.

She is delighted to have recently been appointed as Assistant Professor and to be able to continue her involvement with the GIPP community.
