Dr. Cortney S. Warren is an Associate Adjunct Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Nevada School of Medicine.

Cortney received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Texas A&M University in 2006 after completing her clinical internship at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School.

Raised traveling the world, Cortney has a unique perspective on how culture influences eating norms, food rituals, and ideals of beauty. As such, the majority of Cortney's research explores eating pathology, addictions, self-deception, and the practice of psychotherapy from a cross-cultural perspective.

With more than 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and 7 book chapters, Cortney’s work appears in some the field's top journals, including the International Journal of Eating Disorders, Appetite, and Obesity.

Although Cortney received tenure at UNLV in 2012, she formally retired from academia in 2014 to pursue a career that would allow her more time with her family and more interaction with the general public.
