BIOGRAPHICAL
SKETCH:
The
shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but people
often learn a great deal on detours.
Graduating
with a Psychology degree from Georgetown University, Peggy Harbison
completed the Clinical Psychology Master’s Program at West Chester
University. Working first
in a social work position at St. Mary’s, a residential facility for
abused and neglected children, she then served as Residential Director.
As
an immense respect for the process of therapy grew, as well as curiosity
regarding the pharmacology and biological aspects of mental health,
Harbison returned to medical school at the Medical College of
Pennsylvania. She then
completed her psychiatry residency at the Institute of Pennsylvania
Hospital. Upon graduation,
she served as consultation to the Renfrew Center, an impatient eating
disorders/women’s mental health facility.
Currently,
Dr. Harbison is Medical Director of the Partial Hospital Program at
Pennsylvania Hospital and is a partner and Director of Women’s Health
at Centra, P.C. Dr. Harbison is board certified. |
