Elizabeth Ahlers, PsyD

Dr. Elizabeth Ahlers graduated from the University of Denver's Graduate School of Professional Psychology with her Doctorate of Psychology in 2018.  She then did a fellowship in Behavioral Pain Management at Geisinger Hospital in Pennsylvania, before happily moving back to Colorado to practice pain psychology.  She has prior experience working on interdisciplinary pain teams after working at Lutheran Spine Center and is excited to bring that expertise to the team here at Integral Physical Therapy.

​

Dr. Ahlers specializes in helping people adjust to living with chronic health conditions, particularly coping with chronic pain. She uses evidence-based treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help address the biopsychosocial aspects of chronic health problems.  She believes that the mind-body connection is powerful and that by addressing thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, powerful behavior change can happen, helping people re-engage with a rich and meaningful life.

​

When she's not working, she enjoys baking, hiking, knitting, playing games, and playing with her dogs.
