More about Amy
- 26 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Florida for over 25 years. I have my own practice of wellness, which includes self-reflection, mind-body practices, and spiritual health. I am looking forward to providing tools to others so that they can embark on their own journey of wellness, with the understanding that barriers are a natural process in life and reframe these as a time for redirection and change. I use a whole-person approach, looking comprehensively at all aspects of a person that might be affecting his/her current state. I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, trauma, grief, and family conflicts. I believe in considering a person’s strengths and assets as part of the recovery process, so that a broad assessment is essential. I have a strong sense of hope and faith and wish to instill this in others. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
