AMITY CARLSON, PA-C, MS

I view mental health care as a partnership between patient and provider. I enjoy working with people to help them define their goals and make life changes to increase their wellbeing. Medications, insight-oriented counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and alternative techniques can all be used to provide holistic care.

​

As a certified Physician Assistant, I hold Master’s Degrees in Physician Assistant Studies from Augsburg University and Counseling Psychology from Central Washington University. My experience includes working as a mental health therapist in day treatment programs, community mental health centers, hospitals, and schools. I have worked with all ages, from elementary school kids to older adults. While I work with patients on a variety of mental health issues, I specialize in helping people with mood disorders, trauma survivors, ADHD, personality disorders, and building effective relationships and coping skills.

​

I enjoy painting, singing, and spending time with family and friends. I like traveling and going to the cabin with my husband and our two college-age children. I recently adopted a horse named Cherry, and spend a lot of time working with her. I also have a French Brittany named Molly.
