Amy Egbert, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut. She studies eating challenges in children and teens, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. Her research looks at how factors like food marketing, access to healthy food, and experiences of discrimination can affect eating habits. Dr. Egbert is passionate about finding ways to adapt treatments so they better meet the needs of all families, including those who may not have access to specialized care.
