Clara Morrison

I completed my PhD in clinical psychology with a dissertation studying the therapeutic strength of a positive relationship between patient and therapist. I put my dissertation into practice during my internship at Pennsylvania Hospital, where I worked at a community outpatient mental health clinic. I then gained a specialization working with cancer survivors and their families during my fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

I am excited to now be combining my passion for community health and helping clients with medical needs as an integrated psychologist in Primary Care. The best part of my work is getting to know my patients and collaborating with them to live more resilient, hopeful lives in our shared community.

Outside of work I’m an avid bicyclist and love the mountains, hiking and rock climbing.
