Pain Disorders
Dr. Heymen is a psychologist with over 25 years experience working with chronic pain patients (see Publications tab at top of page, references #1,2,15,16).
Dr. Heymen combines his Master’s Degree training in Clinical Psychology with his Doctoral training in Biological Psychology from UNC to understand the interactive roles that psychological factors and physiological factors play in chronic pain symptoms.
