Rebecca B. Price, PhD is a licensed psychologist and an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh.

Her research and clinical work focus primarily on adults with affective conditions such as anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and suicidality.

She also serves as the Director of the Hope Team, a UPMC clinic for young people at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR).
