About Me

Hi, my name is Dr. Jennifer Wolff. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and Professor at Brown Medical School who helps children, adolescents, and young adults achieve health and happiness through proven techniques. My services range from providing one-time consultation to providing ongoing therapy using evidence-based treatment. I have specialized training in child and adolescent psychology and provide therapy using a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I specialize in treating individuals and families for issues such as anxiety, depression, behavior problems, OCD, and complex presentations. If you or your child are having an issue that you think I can help with, please reach out. I am here to help you and your family feel better and stay better! 

I am a licensed psychologist in the states of Massachusetts (2017-Present) and Rhode Island (2009-Present). 

EDUCATION

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Tech in 2008. I completed my predoctoral clinical internship and postdoctoral research fellowship in child psychology at Brown University Medical School in Providence, RI. 

TEACHING EXPERIENCE 

I am a Professor and Clinician Educator at Brown University. In this role, I have received teaching awards and trained countless interns and post-docs to be the next generation of psychologists. I hold a leadership position for Brown’s Clinical Psychology Training Consortium and I offer workshops and trainings for MDs, social workers, and other providers in hospital and community settings.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE 

My research focuses on understanding emotional and behavioral challenges in children and adolescents and developing effective ways to help them thrive. I have led studies that test innovative approaches to treatment, including parent-focused programs and technology-based interventions. I also study ways to strengthen therapists’ skills and increase the use of evidence-based treatments across settings such as hospitals, primary care, juvenile justice programs, and community mental health clinics. I have served as Principal Investigator on multiple NIH-funded research grants and have authored over 100 scientific publications.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME 

I grew up in a small town in upstate New York. My husband and I moved to Massachusetts after grad school and now have three amazing boys who range in age from a teenager to early elementary age. In my free time, I can be found spending time with my family, cooking, gardening, traveling, or solving the Wordle of the day.
