Amy VanderHerp, PA-C

Amy VanderHerp, PA-C, is a Certified Physician Assistant with over a decade of clinical experience, bringing a warm, nonjudgmental approach to psychiatric care at Stella Mental Health's Springville, Utah location.
Becoming a medical provider has been a lifelong dream for Amy. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science — with minors in Biology and Chemistry — from Utah State University in 2004, before completing her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies at A.T. Still University in Mesa, Arizona in 2010. Her diverse background in pediatrics, family medicine, and pain management gives her a uniquely comprehensive perspective when caring for patients, allowing her to consider the whole person — not just the presenting concern.
Amy is passionate about building long-term relationships with her patients and believes the best care is built on communication, understanding, and compassion. She specializes in medication management for ADHD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, and works alongside the broader Stella team to connect patients with additional services — including ketamine-assisted therapy, TMS, and therapy referrals — when the situation calls for it. She sees mental and physical health as deeply intertwined, and her goal is to help patients thrive in both.
Outside of the clinic, Amy is happiest outdoors. You'll likely find her horseback riding, camping, or 4-wheeling with her family — and enthusiastically chasing after the hobbies of her three kids.
