Speaker: Amy Laurent, MD – Attending Psychiatrist for Athlete EDGE™ at EDCare
Dr. Laurent is a psychiatrist who grew up in Michigan and completed her undergrad degree at Loyola University Chicago. She went on to complete medical school at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and residency in psychiatry at Good Samaritan Hospital/Banner Health in Phoenix, AZ. Dr. Laurent is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and sees adult clients. She has particular interests in cultural and nutritional psychiatry and believes in healing/treating the whole person: mind, body and spirit. This includes education and support to empower them to live their healthiest and most balanced lives.
Dr. Laurent is happy to be a part of EDCare staff, working within a multidisciplinary model, to provide psychiatric care to patients working toward recovery from eating disorders. Additionally, she is excited to be a part of the Athlete EDGE program to ensure athletes are addressing their mental health needs as much as their physical needs in order to achieve optimum performance in a healthy way. She is a member of the International Society for Sports Psychiatry (ISSP) and working toward additional certification in Sport Psychiatry to better serve this population.
