Dr Mia Pellizzer

I am a Research Fellow in two roles. I work for Professor Tracey Wade under her NHMRC Investigator grant, developing and testing transdiagnostic approaches to early intervention for eating disorders in youth. I am also employed for the Flinders University Institute for Mental Health and Wellbeing. My role is specifically focused on Co-Design research, involving consumers and people with lived experience in the entire research process.

I am the topic coordinator and lecturer for PSYC9014 and am passionate about teaching, supervising, and mentoring the next generation of psychologists.

I am also a senior clinical psychologist employed by the Statewide Eating Disorder Service where I work with young people (15-18yo) and their families.

My research is focused on body image in a variety of clinical and health settings, including eating disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, peripartum women, and endometriosis. I am interested and have expertise in co-design and qualitative methodology.
