More about Amelia
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I see therapy as an opportunity to work toward growth, self-discovery, and healing. I believe that people come to me not only with where they may be stuck or hurting, but also with incredible strengths and abilities. Through warmth, collaboration, and direct communication I hope to help uncover patterns that are getting in the way of living well. I use an experiential, emotion + body focused approach along with art therapy and practical tools to develop new ways of experiencing and approaching the hard stuff in life.
I specialize in the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM), Inner Bonding, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. I frequently utilize body based somatic approaches in my work. I also incorporate creative expression including visual art, writing, mindful movement, and acting + improv based practices to supplement evidence based treatment options.
I work to incorporate mindfulness, creativity, humor, and genuine connection + vulnerability into therapy sessions. I see you as the expert on your own experience and work to provide empathetic collaboration to achieve your goals. I encourage you to reach out for a consultation.

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.
