Paige Fisher, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Department of Psychology
I am a clinical psychologist who joined the Department of Psychology at Seton Hall
University in 2008. Prior to that, I was an Associate Research Scientist at the NYU
Child Study Center, investigating childhood anxiety disorders. I primarily teach clinically-oriented
courses at Seton Hall (Abnormal Psychology, Psychological Testing, etc.) and Introductory
Psychology, and I coordinate the department's internship program.
My research focuses on two areas: 1) how mental health (specifically anxiety and depression)
impacts college adjustment, and 2) the relationship between academic and behavior
problems in preschool children. I have written several articles investigating the
outcomes of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for anxiety disorders, as well as papers
on the impact of academic and behavior disorders on preschool development.
