Risa B. Weisberg, PhD, is a Professor of Psychiatry at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and an Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Family Medicine at the Alpert Medical School, Brown University. Additionally, Dr. Weisberg is the Chief Clinical and Scientific Officer of RealizedCare, a digital health company developing interventions for common behavioral health problems including chronic pain, substance use, anxiety, and depression.

Dr. Weisberg's research focuses on developing and testing behavioral health interventions that can be more easily implemented and scaled. Her work encompasses interventions for chronic pain, opioid use disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, chronic medical conditions, and sexual and reproductive health. Her treatment development and clinical trial work has been funded by the National Institute of Health, as well as by industry and foundation grants, for over 20 years. Currently, she is the principal investigator on a NIDA-funded clinical trial examining the effectiveness of a behavioral treatment for primary care patients with chronic pain and opioid use disorder. She has also served as PI and Co-Investigator on two large-scale, longitudinal studies, examining the nature and course of anxiety disorders; the Harvard/Brown Anxiety Research Project (HARP) and the Primary Care Anxiety Project (PCAP).
