Mental Health Clinician

Amy Merritt

Amy’s experience with chronic pain began in her early twenties following a severe back injury. MRIs, medication, and physical therapy followed, but the injury permanently compromised her lower lumbar vertebrae.

Amy has experienced the mental and emotional impact of accepting that pain will be a permanent part of one’s future. Has had to realize that pain and ability level are often invisible to others. Has discovered that pain management interactions with medical professionals are often confusing and demoralizing where we are made to doubt our own physical experiences. Living with chronic pain is so much more than “just” living with chronic pain.

By developing a meaningful relationship grounded in compassion, patience, and attentive listening, Amy strives to create an approach tailored to individual clients’ needs that provides unconditional support in pursuit of the goals of her clients.
