Clinicians:

Prior to studying to become a clinical psychologist, Dr. Hunter was a fledgling actor immersed in improv comedy and made a living for a decade as a personal trainer. These experiences highly influence both her perspective on humanity and mental health, as well as her approach to clinical work. She realized long before entering her studies the importance of relationships and the profound healing effects of humor, comradery, and physical activity. In addition, she realized in working with “the worried well” the continuum on which emotional suffering resides and the extensive suffering that exists due to our current cultural society.

A good laugh is a mighty good thing, a rather too scarce a good thing

– Herman Melville

She has additional training in DBT, Internal Family Systems, trauma sensitive yoga, and other trauma-informed practices.
