Amy Buchanan, Ph.D
San Francisco

I am a psychologist who is committed to creating an interpersonally warm and non-judgmental environment for patients to work on improving their well-being. I prioritize developing a strong therapeutic alliance with patients and strive to understand each patient’s unique identities, background, beliefs, and life experience. Working collaboratively with patients, I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and other treatment approaches to best meet each patient's unique needs.

How I stay healthy and happy
I’m mindful about boundaries between work and other areas of my life. In my free time, I enjoy doing activities outside such as going for a walk and birding.
