Health Psychology

Understanding and treating connections between the mind and body technically falls in the domain of health psychology, which has been a practice area for me since 2000. 

Common elements of work in the area of mind/body connection and coping include accepting and managing a terminal or chronic illness diagnosis, health behavior change, and allergies. Dr. Tera works with patients to regulate their emotional states, which has implications for improved physical health outcomes. 

Dr. Tera can also work with you on athletic performance, harnessing the mind/body connection to meet your athletic goals.
