About

Having had a history of working in fashion, Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner, a psychologist, was always fascinated by the internal reasons for our clothing choices. She decided to blend both of her passions to create a new way examining what we wear, the Psychology of Dress. In addition to running her wardrobe consulting business, InsideOut, Dr. B specializes in the treatment of mood, anxiety, substance, and eating disorders. Her focus of clinical research is exercise adherence, nutrition, and psychological wellness among children and adults with obesity. She works with popular media outlets, including radio, print, and television, offering information to improve wellness. Most recently, she writes The Psychology of Dress blog for Psychology Today, and is the writer and on-air-host of the television program, A Better You with Dr. Baumgartner (2012) through University of the District of Columbia. Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner is the author of YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR (Da Capo March 2012) examining the link between our external appearance and internal experience, which is now available for preorder.
