Dr. Taylor Berens Crouch, PhD LCP, is a clinical research professor who studies integrative, nonpharmacological approaches to treating chronic pain and other chronic symptom disorders like autonomic disorders (e.g., POTS, long-COVID). Dr. Crouch is particularly interested in brain/body (neuroplasticity-based) interventions to address nervous system contributors to chronic health conditions. She is also interested in overlaps between chronic pain and addiction, prevention of opioid-related risks, and mechanisms of behavior change. Her work is conducted with particular attention to trauma-informed care, gender-related issues, community engagement and impact, and improving access and dissemination of evidence-based treatments, particularly for the most at-risk and underserved populations, to reduce health disparities.
