Jordana Muroff

Jordana Muroff is passionate about developing empirically supported mental health interventions based in strong community collaborations to make them more easily disseminated, linguistically appropriate and culturally relevant. She is particularly interested in health technology innovations that help address health inequities, stigma and structural oppression. “There is a dearth of culturally and linguistically competent mental health services for Latinx populations in the US and greater reliance on mobile technology to access the internet,” she explains. “Phone and internet access are no longer just a ‘convenience’ but a ‘necessity.’”

Muroff is the author of Group Treatment for Hoarding Disorder: Therapist Guide (Oxford University Press, 2014). Her research on mental health (e.g., hoarding) and substance use disorders has appeared in American Journal of Public Health and Depression and Anxiety.

At BU, Muroff serves on the Strategic Planning Task Force’s Committee on Scholarly Resources and Services—Libraries and as a field instructor for MSW students in collaboration with community partners in housing and mental health services. Outside of the university, she is a member of the pre-conference and conference subcommittees for the Annual Conference of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and an editorial board member for the Oxford University Press ABCT Series on Implementation of Clinical Approaches.
