Bridget N. Murphy, PhD

I am passionate about working with children and families to support their mental and behavioral health, especially through early intervention and prevention. I believe that by identifying each family’s strengths and building on them, we can help create a resilient and healthy patient community. My approach is rooted in the idea that catching concerns as they emerge gives us the best chance to improve access and care for every child.

My clinical and research work focuses on integrated behavioral health, with a special interest in making high-quality psychological services more accessible to families. I am committed to ensuring that more children receive the support they need, when they need it most. I was honored to receive the APAHC Outstanding Student Contributions Award from the Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers, which recognizes excellence in enhancing the role of psychologists in education, research and clinical care training.

Outside of work, I enjoy pottery, hosting trivia nights and watching movies of all kinds. My dog is even named after a character from Pride and Prejudice, one of my favorite films.
