Natalie Kathleen Morris Berriz, PhD

Dr. Natalie Berriz received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bradley University and her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Eastern Michigan University. She is also a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA). She completed her predoctoral internship at Marcus Autism Center in applied behavior analysis and developmental disabilities and her fellowship in pediatric psychology at Michigan Medicine with a specialized focus on pediatric feeding disorders. Dr. Berriz is one of a handful of psychologists in the state of Michigan with the expertise needed to prevent and treat pediatric feeding disorders. Dual degrees in Clinical Psychology (specializing in Pediatric Psychology) and behavior analysis provide her with a greater clinical understanding of how to assess and treat the most medically, developmentally, and behaviorally complex patients. Dr. Berriz joined the faculty in the Interdisciplinary Pediatric Feeding Program at Michigan Medicine to expand the services offered to children and their families with pediatric feeding disorders. She is particularly interested in the prevention and early intervention of pediatric feeding disorders. Dr. Berriz prides herself on having a family-centered approach, tailoring interventions and recommendations to what will yield the most success with the patient and satisfaction from the family. As a previous member of a team granted the Evan Newport Hope award for outstanding patient and family centered care, she strives to continue to live up to the standards of that award.
