She has a passion for helping people and provides care with a patient centered approach. Amy uses an integrative counseling method that leans heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to meet each patient’s individual needs. She is EMDR trained and works with patients who are dealing with trauma.

Andrew Holmgren, PhD

Clinic Director

I approach counseling from a collaborative perspective, in which you, the client, and I work together to identify ways to address your concerns and meet your therapeutic goals.

In session, I take an interpersonal stance where we explore the ways that your relationships with others can impact the concerns that brought you to therapy as well as how these concerns might impact your current relationships. I firmly believe that each client has the ability to accomplish their goals when they can engage authentically in a nonjudgmental therapeutic space.

I use evidence-based techniques such as neuroscience, CBT, ACT, biofeedback, mindfulness and other awareness-based tools to help each person gain insight to their own strengths, explore their internal experience and, of course, gain new coping tools to improve the way seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome to access our best health.
