Moriah Stendel, PhD received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oregon and completed her APA-accredited internship at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Both her research and clinical work seek to understand how disruptions in how we relate to ourselves and others give rise to psychological suffering. Her work bridges social neuroscience and clinical research to examine social cognition in clinical disorders, with a focus on self-other processes such as mentalizing, self-evaluation, and loneliness, and their underlying brain networks. She is currently investigating socio-cognitive processes that confer transdiagnostic risk, as well as interventions that target these mechanisms to promote resilience.
