Antler Clinic

About
Dr. Antler is a disabled, chronically ill, and queer health and rehabilitation psychologist and clinician-scientist with lived and professional experience navigating complex medical challenges. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), ADHD, and other health conditions, Dr. Antler intimately understands the barriers faced by individuals with complex and rare medical conditions. Not being diagnosed with EDS until the age of 32, Dr. Antler, like many of her patients, endured years of medical neglect and gaslighting. This experience fuels their deep empathy and passion for helping others who face similar struggles and drove her to create Antler Clinic to serve as a place patients could receive the type of care she wished she had access to herself. As the founder of the Antler Clinic, Dr. Antler provides specialized care for those grappling with rare and complicated medical conditions (diagnosed or not), offering expertise in areas such as rehabilitation psychology, health psychology, chronic pain, depression, sleep and circadian rhythms, OCD, and more. At the heart of her practice is a commitment to creating a compassionate, inclusive space where patients are supported, informed, and empowered. Drawing from both her scientific and clinical backgrounds, Dr. Antler is a fierce advocate for her patients, helping them navigate their diagnoses and treatment plans while working to ensure they have access to the care they need. With experience working in primary care, spinal cord injury, and physical rehabilitation settings, as well as conducting sleep research for organizations like NASA, Dr. Antler brings a wealth of knowledge and diverse expertise to her practice. Dr. Antler is neurodivergent, queer, trauma-informed, and strongly committed to social justice. Due to her own disabilities, she works a limited schedule and operates out-of-network with all insurance providers. She offers remote services across 42 states under PSYPACT.
