I am licensed in California with 11 years of professional work experience as a Clinical Psychologist, as well as 6 years of experience treating adolescents and adults with addictions. I have expertise in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, coping with addictions and family members' addictions, family and relationship issues, attachment difficulties, personality disorders & trauma and abuse. In addition to working with individuals, I specialize in providing couples' therapy using Emotion-Focused Therapy and a combination of other techniques. I have diagnosed and treated clients with a broad range of mental health conditions, and I will help you clarify and understand any prior and/or current clinical conditions. I have worked with veterans in a number of settings within the VA and appreciate the unique needs of veterans seeking care. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I also strongly believe the relationship and trust between client and therapist is essential in creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere! I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, taking into account your worldview, background & cultural experiences. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and commitment. I am here to support you in that process.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Amy Wytiaz. 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.
My therapist is the perfect match for what I need in therapy. I’m very greatful!
