Marie E. Barnett, PhD
Psychologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Psychologist
I am a clinical psychologist on the MSK Kids team. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults with cancer, as well as their caregivers, with an emphasis family-centered care. I work with patients and their families at all points on the cancer journey, including treatment and survivorship.
I focus on easing emotional distress, including anxiety and depression, so my patients can deal with the challenges and changes that come with a cancer diagnosis. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, I help patients develop coping skills and improve their overall resilience and quality of life. I work closely with my patients’ cancer care teams to provide the highest standard of care.

In my research, I am developing ways to screen and use patient-reported measures to assess, identify, and track the needs of young patients and families. I am interested in understanding how teens and young adults find meaning in their cancer experiences during and after treatment. Along with multidisciplinary providers, I examine provider and patient approaches to discussing and effectively using pediatric pain and supportive care measures.
I am a member of the American Psychological Association, American Psychosocial Oncology Society, and Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers.
My patients and their families continually inspire and humble me. Cancer becomes an indelible aspect of a patient’s and family’s life in so many ways. Part of my responsibility is to help them build the confidence to tell their own stories, embrace the unknowns of treatment, and identify their new normal.
A psychologist has special training in therapy to help people with mental and behavioral health issues.
