Marie Atallah PhD
Health Psychologist
Expertise in Managing the Psychological Side of Chronic Illness
My training in Health Psychology spans academic research, specialized coursework, and direct clinical care in medical settings. I completed my dissertation in a health psychology concentration and pursued extensive training in both general and specialty care environments, including weight management clinics, primary care, cardiology, oncology, and neurogastroenterology.
In each setting, I worked as part of an interdisciplinary team addressing the intersection of physical and mental health. I’ve supported patients adjusting to chronic illness, navigating difficult diagnoses, and managing treatment adherence.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based interventions such as CBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing, and I tailor care plans to address not just symptoms but quality of life, values, and long-term wellness. I’m particularly passionate about the mind-body connection and helping patients develop strategies that support emotional and physical resilience.
