Erin Reilly, PhD
Assistant Professor
Psychiatry
School of Medicine

Dr. Reilly completed her APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at the UCSD School of Medicine/VA San Diego and post-doctoral fellowship at the UCSD Eating Disorders Center, where she received extensive training in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders. Directly prior to UCSF, Dr. Reilly was a faculty member in the clinical psychology Ph.D. program at Hofstra University from 2019-2021. Her clinical interests focus on the provision of evidence-based treatments for individuals with eating disorders and their families across the lifespan. Her research interests include better characterizing maintenance mechanisms and shared features of anxiety and eating disorders, and using this knowledge to adapt behavioral treatments to meet the needs of non-responders. Her secondary lines of work focus on characterizing barriers to (a) the implementation of evidence-based treatments in real-life clinical settings and (b) the use of best practice assessment and statistical techniques in applied research settings. She is currently involved in leadership roles in the Early Career Special Interest Group within the Academy for Eating Disorders, the Eating Disorder and Eating Behavior SIG within the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and the Coalition for the Advancement and Application of Psychological Science.
