Health Psychology is a relatively new speciality area of psychology. Health psychologists receive specialized training in the biopsychosocial determinants of wellness. While health psychologists can work in a variety of health settings, Clinical Health Psychologists are trained to work in medical settings with individuals/groups with acute and chronic medical illnesses.
Clinicians at HPAI have hearts for physicians and other healthcare workers. In treatment, individuals learn practical and evidence-based stress management techniques applicable to their professional and personal lives. Treatment can be long-term, brief, regular, or occasional, depending on the needs of the individual.
Receiving a new medical diagnosis is scary. Learning to manage a chronic illness is challenging. Therapy can help individuals adjust to a new diagnosis and learn to manage it by making the necessary behavioral changes. Treatment can be brief or long-term, depending on the needs of the individual.
Are you a psychologist or therapist looking for your own therapist? HPAI clinicians enjoy working with other mental health professionals.
