Dr. Amy Karbasi

I help adults with chronic pain and illness navigate the physical and emotional challenges of their conditions so they can reclaim their lives. I work with people who want a different, specialized approach to addressing the challenges of chronic pain and illness, who are interested in mind-body work, and who want to take an active role in their healing.

figure out what's possible for you and actively work to get there. I'll take your symptoms seriously and gain a thorough understanding of them, and help you understand and address the complex connections between your pain or symptoms, nervous system, emotions, and behaviors, so that you can build a full, meaningful life - not one defined by pain or illness.

Professional, warm, friendly, and down-to earth, with a good sense of humor. I give my clients my undivided attention during their session time and am conscientious, organized, and well-prepared. I'm easy to talk to and listen carefully. I'm thoughtful about treatment plans and flexible about adapting them in order to find the right fit for each person.

have chronic pain or illness, especially those with "invisible illnesses" such as back pain, POTS, dysautonomia, fibromyalgia, EDS, migraines, chronic fatigue, and more. I work with people who tried have many things to improve their health with few results and are looking for a specialized, evidence-based approach to addressing these challenging conditions.

I have 15+ years of experience working in medical settings with extensive training and experience in health and pain psychology. Working with a psychologist does not mean your symptoms are imagined. Your symptoms are very real. It's important that you feel heard and understood and have hope that your symptoms and life can improve.
