Expertise Areas:
I specialize in Clinical Health Psychology based in the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model with a particular interest in identifying ways to improve pain management including in palliative care, acute medical care, and comorbid pain and opioid addiction settings. I am also interested in the impact of psychopharmacology on the intertwined areas of pain, sleep, and mental health.

Dr. Amy Wachholtz is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Colorado Denver and the Director of Clinical Health Psychology. Dr. Wachholtz graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from Boston University where she specialized in Bioethics. She then continued her education to earn her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Bowling Green State University where she had a dual specialization in Behavioral Medicine and Psychology of Religion. She completed her internship through fellowship training at Duke University where she focused on medical psychology and pain management. She also completed a post-doctoral Master’s degree in Psychopharmacology. Her primary research, teaching, and clinical interests focus on 1) bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of chronic pain disorders and 2) the complexities of treating of co-morbid pain and opioid addiction in both acute pain and chronic pain situations. Her translational research ranges from human laboratory psycho-physiological assessments to developing and implementing empirically validated treatments. She is NIH funded to study comorbid pain and opioid addiction and also has a number of smaller grants to improve multi-dimensional pain management in advanced cancer patients, to reduce burnout among health care workers, and assessment of cross-cultural concepts of health and well-being. She enjoys teaching students about health psychology and links between biology and psychology across classroom, clinical, and research settings.
