Amy is an empathetic, professional, insightful, and caring therapist. She puts you at ease with how you are feeling because she doesn't judge or push you to feel a certain way. She meets me where I am, regardless of what that means at any given time and helps me find healthier coping mechanisms & challenge negative thoughts. I feel hopeful again, with her as my therapist
