Hi! I’m Dr. Ava Schumacher, and I specialize in Health Psychology. Health challenges can feel overwhelming. Whether you’ve been struggling to manage chronic pain, facing a life-changing new diagnosis, or navigating chronic illness, health challenges affect more than just your body - it may seem like dealing with them has taken over your entire life. I'm passionate about the mind-body connection, and I specialize in helping clients improve pain/symptom management; strengthen stress management, mood, and sleep; shift unhelpful patterns; and enhance overall wellbeing using evidence-based approaches including CBT and mindfulness.
I also specialize in helping people who are exhausted by insomnia get their sleep back on track and feel rested. I provide CBT-I, which is a short-term (usually about 6 sessions) treatment. It's a gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for insomnia that's as effective as sleep medication in the short term, and more effective in the long term.
It's important to address your concerns from all angles, and health psychology is a key component of holistic care alongside medical and/or complimentary/alternative care. I offer a complimentary 15-min consultation so you can ask questions and get a sense of what it would be like to work together. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
