More about Amy

23 years' experience
Female
LMSW

I am a licensed Master’s Clinical Social Worker in Michigan and Nevada with over 20 years of experience working in the field of medicine and social work.

I am a registered yoga teacher so I practice yoga and meditation for personal wellness.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, mood and thought disturbances.

I have helped many people who have experienced legal, family, and financial problems.

My therapeutic style is person centered and relationship based.

I believe in treating people with kindness and empathy.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I believe people have choices; you can choose to take a different path or not. My goal is not to judge you for who you are or who you want to become.

I am a person centered therapist so what that means to you is I allow you to direct the treatment as you deem fit and necessary. I will not force you to do something you don't want to do or talk about. I respect a person's boundaries. I also practice mindfulness so what this to you is I don't always have the answers. I believe thoughts can come and go; they only have meaning unless we give them meaning.

I am educated in addiction medicine.

I have done research on weight issues and mental health.

I have worked with people with substance abuse issues.

I enjoy treating both children, adults and families.

I enjoy happiness in my sessions and I also enjoy music. However if you are struggling, I will be there to support you and provide you a empathetic bedside manner.

My goal is to make you feel better at the end of the session than when you came into it. However, at times that requires your participation and allowing yourself to feel enjoyment through positive communication. My goal is to listen and reflect. I like to keep things simple.

I look forward to our journey! Are you ready to start it?

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great therapist

So kind and supportive in the ways you need, I felt heard and safe talking about my life with her, highly recommend her!

She's a very good listener, she speaks with concern and wisdom

Very, very personable. I can better respond when we engage in further conversations.

Thank u Amy I appreciate the time u spent with me. Thanks Brian D.

I have only been with Amy for a month but I already feel better, she puts me at complete ease and is so lovely and helpful. Would definitely recommend :)

Kind and helpful

I cannot fully express my gratitude for being pared up with someone like Amy for my counselling, I could have not hoped for a better match. She is very kind and insightful, and she gently guided me through the hardships I was experiencing. I can honestly say that the conversations we had together did change my life for the better, even if that sounds cheesy.

What a lady. Honest and very good at what she does.

If I had to pick one word to describe Amy, it would be AWESOME! However if I was allowed to pick more than one, I would also describe her as kind, understanding, genuine, and has a great sense of humor! I enjoyed my first video session with her and am looking very forward to our future sessions. She just got me and I felt super comfortable right away. I’m so happy I got matched with Amy!

I have only had a couple sessions with Amy but I can honestly say she is one of the best counsellors I have ever had, she is very attentive, she listens and ask questions when is appropriate. She is also a very outgoing, down to earth, funny, and overall just an amazing person, I definitely recommend her to anybody who is going through grief, recovery, severe depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder!

Amy has been very supportive and helpful. She's kind and empathetic. I really like her.

Amy was very insightful and helpful. She really gave me some advice I hadn't thought of and I truly appreciated her strategy for me moving forward.
