I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with 17 years of professional experience. I am experienced in helping clients who are coping with grief and loss, stress and anxiety, depression, family/relationship conflicts, as well as LGBTQ+ specific concerns. I have worked in the hospice field for many years and have developed a wealth of knowledge surrounding grief and loss in all aspects of life. I have also worked with those living with HIV/AIDS and understand the unique set of challenges faced by this community. My varied work and life experiences give me a sincere and empathic lens which I use to help my clients as they embark on their therapeutic journeys. I believe that this sincerity comes across with each person with whom I have worked.
My therapy style is warm, engaging, and interactive. My therapeutic approaches vary based on each specific client and their unique needs. I am also trained in Motivational Interviewing which gives my clients the tools to be able to take charge of their lives. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment and I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am here to support and empower you in that process.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Wallins. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I chose Amy as my therapist because she has an extensive experience with LBGTQ folks. She’s a true bonafide Ally and her perspective has been invaluable for my emotional and mental wellbeing as a queer person. I always feel heard and understood when I speak to Amy and I feel that I can bring my whole self to her. I highly recommend Amy if you’re looking to improve your mental health and wellbeing. She really helps me put things in perspective. I appreciate her open ear and sage words.
