Dr. Autumn Phillips, Psy.D
Dr. Autumn Phillips, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist who has specialized in pain management for nearly 20 years. She has worked closely with Dr. Steiner for many years, coordinating evidence-based treatments to improve patient outcomes.
Dr. Phillips understands that pain often extends beyond physical sensation, encompassing emotional and psychological suffering that can impact many areas of life. If you are referred for a consultation, you will participate in a one-time appointment designed to assess your pain and its effects on your daily functioning. Following the evaluation, Dr. Steiner and her team will receive comprehensive documentation to support treatment planning and ensure access to all appropriate care options, which may include opioid therapy when clinically indicated.
Treatment recommendations are developed collaboratively and discussed thoroughly with each patient.
“Documentation is key. I strive to ensure every patient has a positive experience while also providing the thorough documentation necessary to meet medical guidelines.” — Dr. Autumn Phillips
Dr. Phillips earned her doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in 2008. She completed her postdoctoral training at Scripps Clinic and, since becoming licensed, has worked in both hospital and clinical settings delivering patient-centered care.
