My name is Amy Gorton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 17 years of clinical experience. My primary focus and specialty area is around Women’s emotional, mental and physical health but I also work with female clients with a range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family issues, school/career challenges, life changes/stages as well as grief and loss, OCD and ADD/ADHD. My treatment style is warm, interactive and compassionate. I believe in earning respect through giving respect. My treatment approach combines Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic and Family Systems Theories. I will tailor the therapeutic sessions to meet your unique and specific needs and goals. It takes courage to ask for help and to accept help so if you are ready to take that step, I look forward to meeting you.

Amy Gorton is excellent. I had never been through therapy before purchasing BetterHelp. I started with some therapists who just didn’t mesh well with my needs or conversation style. I was then finally matched with Amy Gorton, and she has been wonderful. She’s soothing, calm, and has great insights into my concerns. When I brought up the many things going on in my life bringing me to BetterHelp, she worked through them with me and helped me power through major life changes. I cannot recommend her enough.

Amy’s great! Doesn’t hesitate to give advice and confirm “you aren’t crazy”. (Which we all need at times) I’ve already recommended her and Better Help to a friend.

Amy is wonderful and extremely helpful, but I feel like BetterHelp proves to be unaffordable to the people could benefit the most.
