AmySue does a great job--I haven't been very interactive, consistently, which I'm sure makes her job a little more difficult, but the material she has provided is great for me to go back and look upon.

Amy is an excellent therapist - engaged, supportive, and compassionate. She has the calming presence of someone who's a cross between a trusted friend, wise older sister, and that lovely aunt who cheers you up and sends you clippings about things you should read. I appreciate how she follows up on our sessions by sharing helpful resources afterwards (even though I need to get better about using them!). I'm thankful for how she'd helped to guide me toward identifying key concerns amid the swirl of random preoccupations that I generally have to keep at bay. And I'm glad for the ways she's provided accountability regarding what to keep in mind, which is helpful as I often struggle with discerning and maintaining priorities.

AmySue completely changed my life - I was crippled by anxiety, past trauma, and depression, and she guided me through the healing process, and shared so many helpful tools and resources so I could really practice the skills she taught me.
