It’s one thing to connect with a mental health provider when you’re living with a chronic medical condition, but it’s even better when you find one who truly understands the realities you’re facing.
Dr. Meghan Beier gets it, and the psychologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (who specializes in Multiple Sclerosis) is on a mission to improve this level of provider understanding.
Join us as we have a conversation with Dr. Beier about her passion for improving care for people living with challenging medical conditions and what led her to create Find Empathy, an online resource that provides:
• A free directory of mental health providers who specialize in working with medical populations
• Continuing education for mental health professionals focused on how best to serve patients who live with MS or other life altering illnesses
Dr. Beier completed her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, Health Emphasis, from Yeshiva University. Following that, she received a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington where she focused on rehabilitation, cognition and mental health in individuals living with MS.
She has been featured as a consultant and speaker for organizations such as National MS Society, Can Do Multiple Sclerosis and more. Dr. Beier’s research interests include neuropsychological outcomes for individuals living with MS; cognitive rehabilitation; and behavioral approaches to wellness.
