Angela Fang, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Fang completed her undergraduate studies at Dartmouth College, and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Boston University. She trained at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School for her predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship, and is a licensed psychologist. She has received funding from the Harvard University Mind Brain Behavior Interfaculty Initiative, and the International OCD Foundation, to examine the role of oxytocin in body dysmorphic disorder, both as a biomarker of social cognitive impairments, and as an investigational agent to improve biases in social cognition. Dr. Fang was awarded a 5-year K23 career development award from the National Institute of Mental Health to investigate the brain correlates of self-focused processing in body dysmorphic disorder and social anxiety disorder. Her clinical interests include the cognitive-behavioral treatment (and other evidence-based approaches) of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive related disorders including OCD, BDD, and eating disorders.
