Graduate Students
Abbey Warren
My name is Abbey Warren (she/her), and I’m a first-year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at MS State. I graduated with my MS in Psychology in December of 2023 from UL Lafayette. My research interests primarily center around therapist (and client) experiences of clinical processes and ways to target therapist (and client) behaviors and flexibility via those clinical processes. I have interests in the contextual behavioral sciences, clinical behavior analysis, process-based therapy, and interbehaviorism and interbehavioral psychology. I love reading books of all genres, hanging out with my cat Rory, and going to the gym to lift heavy things and feel strong! Fun fact: I have an identical twin sister.
