More About Amy
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master's degree from Fordham University in New York City. I have two decades of experience in the mental health field, with the past 10 solely in private practice. I am strength-based and solution-focused in my therapy approach having received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Seeking Safety techniques. In addition to utilizing these modalities, I am a certified Reiki Master and have received training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
I use a holistic, eclectic approach to therapy in order to meet the needs of each unique individual. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, perinatal loss, postpartum depression, relationship and family conflict, substance use, bipolar and other mood disorders and life transition stresses.
I practice mindfulness meditation and use it with my clients to help evoke a sense of calm, focus and serenity during the therapeutic recovery process.
I believe that animals can bring a healing quality to the therapeutic process and bring my dogs to sessions when they are welcomed by the client!
