Zachary B. Millman, PhD

Zachary B. Millman, PhD, is an assistant in psychology in the Division of Psychotic Disorders at McLean Hospital and a clinical fellow in psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. In his roles, he supports clinical and research activities at the Laboratory for Early Psychosis (LEAP) Center and the Support, Treatment, and Resilience (STAR) Program. He completed his PhD in clinical child psychology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and his pre-doctoral internship in adolescent psychopathology at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School.

Dr. Millman’s clinical work is focused on supporting adolescents, young adults, and their families as they navigate challenges associated with emerging psychosis, depression, and anxiety. His research aims to elucidate the neurobiological and cognitive mechanisms by which these symptoms develop, with an emphasis on the roles of stress and reward processing. He hopes to translate these findings into real-world benefits for young people and their families by developing person-centered, culturally informed, and contextually sensitive methods of detection and intervention.
