Child/Teen
Dr. Amy Schullery
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help teens learn the best ways to cope with changes they are facing. I lot of teens I work with have high expectations for themselves and have a lot of pressure on them. We work on strategies to combat anxiety and stress that this time in life brings. I help college age students adjust to the unique challenges they are facing with adjusting to new schools, moving away from home, and balancing academics and other responsibilities. I also work with their parents, so that teen-parent relationships can be improved and parents can find the right strategies for helping.

Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and the Hamburg area. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
