RSVP

After completing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH), James Incorvaia came to Reiss-Davis for a two-year post-graduate fellowship. He initially expected to return home to Cleveland after completing the fellowship, but was given an offer he couldn't refuse -- joining the Reiss-Davis staff. During his tenure, Dr. Incorvaia served as a clinician, instructor, head of the PEDS and Clinical Fellowship Program, and he eventually became Director of the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center and Chancellor of the Reiss-Davis Graduate School. He helped shepherd Reiss-Davis through its joining with Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services, the integration of the Graduate School, the creation of the Edna Reiss-Sophie Greenberg Chair and Conference, the formulation of the Saturdays at the Center Continuing Education lecture series, and the transformation of the PsyD into a monthly low-residency program.  
​ 
Dr. Incorvaia is remembered for his dedication to children’s mental health and well-being; he dedicated his work to promoting the clinical, educational and research excellence to which the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center and Reiss-Davis Graduate School aspire.
