Dr. Amy Hampton attained a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree at the University of Calgary followed by a Master’s in Arts and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Regina. As a part of her training, Dr. Hampton completed a pre-doctoral residency at the Ottawa Hospital, where she worked at the Chronic Pain Program, various Rehabilitation Outpatient and Inpatient Programs, Psychosocial Oncology Program, and the Psychological Consultation Services for Inpatients. Her research background has focused on furthering the understanding of the pain experience through a biopsychosocial framework.

After completing her doctoral training, Dr. Hampton returned to the prairies and worked at Regina Mental Health and Addictions services until she shifted back into Health/Rehabilitation Psychology and joined the FIT team in 2020. She is a Registered Doctoral Psychologist with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists (#1074) and is trained in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

Dr. Hampton is passionate about forming strong working alliances with clients and their healthcare teams. She provides evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment to adults with a range of treatment goals. At FIT, she most often works with adults experiencing depression, vehicle anxiety, posttraumatic stress, fear of pain and/or reinjury, and challenges adjusting to losses and changes following an injury/collision. Also as part of her work at FIT, she is involved in providing supervision to Ph. D. Clinical Psychology students from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatoon-based pre-doctoral residency program with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Both in her clinical work and personal life, she strives to empower those around her to realize their personal strengths in order to cope with difficult life events and achieve their personal goals.
