Andrea Allen Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert in body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and other obsessive-compulsive (OC) spectrum disorders, is now seeing patients in private practice in New York City. For over a dozen years, Dr. Allen has conducted research on the pathophysiology and treatment of OC spectrum disorders as the senior psychologist in Dr. Eric Hollander's Compulsive and Impulsive Disorders Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. As a member of the medical school faculty, she trained and supervised postdoctoral psychologists and psychiatry residents in the diagnosis and cognitive behavioral treatment of these disorders. She also served as the Director of Psychological Services for Mt Sinai's Compulsive and Impulsive Disorders Center of Excellence. Dr. Allen has now chosen to cut back on her research and training activities in order to focus on treating patients with these difficult disorders. However, Dr. Allen is continuing her research collaboration with Eric Hollander MD (now at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine) and remains affiliated with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine where she is on the clinical faculty and continues training psychiatry residents and others in the treatment of OC spectrum disorders. More information about Dr. Allen and the disorders she is focusing on in her private practice can be found throughout this website. Copyright © 2010-2011, Until Midnight. All rights reserved.
