We are so proud of the newly awarded “Dr.” Amy Mitchell, Director of our Behavioral Health Clinic, with her PhD in Social Work. Dr. Amy joined the PMH team in July 2022 and has quickly become a beloved face leading group and individual sessions at the Clinic, as well as Pocahontas Center.
Dr. Amy completed her doctoral work through The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and is slated to officially graduate on January 7, 2023. The title of her dissertation is “The Influence of Parenting Style upon Early Adolescent Perceived Risk of Harm from Marijuana Use.” This was a secondary data study of 12 - 14 year old children and how their parents may influence their adolescent opinions about how harmful using marijuana is to their brain development in adolescence.
Dr. Amy is married with four children and lives in Marlinton during the week, returning home to Woodstock, Virginia on the weekends.
