Uta Maeda, PhD

As a health psychologist, my expertise is the bidirectional relationship between physical and mental health.

​

• What psychological factors improve or worsen my physical symptoms? 

• How do I cope emotionally with my illness?

• How can I live a meaningful life that is not defined by my diagnosis?

​

I have helped individuals address these questions in a variety of medical settings, including primary care, specialty outpatient clinics, and skilled nursing facilities.

​

Pain management has always been one of the most complex and rewarding experiences for me as a psychologist. As pain cannot be directly and objectively measured like temperature or blood pressure, it is a uniquely personal experience with no one-size-fits-all treatment. I am passionate about collaborating with each of my patients to develop a plan that fits well with the biological, psychological, and social factors that make you who you are.

​

I look forward to being a part of your journey toward physical and emotional wellness.
