During these difficult times, Amy has been a very supportive therapist to me. She has been available to listen to my concerns and she has provided me with some important resources that I am starting to use to address my problems. She has recommended some literature that I can use to be an active participant in my own recovery. She has also been a great listener and she has given me some great advice. She has also asked some very relavant questions to get to know who I am and the various traumas that I have over the course of my life in order to better address the current problems that I am facing. I would recommend her to someone in need with out a single shred of a doubt.

More about Amy

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have provided therapy to adults for 9 years and I am currently licensed to practice in California. My experience is primarily in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help adults from diverse backgrounds cope with stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, health issues, aging, relationships, and low elf-esteem. I offer a collaborative and supportive partnership based on respect and empowerment. In a warm, non-judgmental environment you will be able to talk freely about sensitive or problematic issues in your life and gain perspective, insight, and skills to help overcome these challenges. I place emphasis on balanced self-care, compassion, developing awareness, and aligning with your values. I am committed to creating a safe supportive relationship for those who have experienced any form of discrimination, hate, or violence. I welcome members of the LGBTQ community and avoid making assumptions about how others experience themselves within our larger society. Now that you have courageously signed up for therapy, I look forward to meeting with you to take the next step.

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.
