Hi! I'm Amy Parker Reid. I am a master's level social worker in central Iowa with over 16 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults. While on my journey I have gained a deep understanding of Iowa's mental health system, available resources in the DSM area, and special education services. As a former special education teacher and counselor, I have seen first-hand how difficult adjusting to new circumstances, routines, and relationships can bring about intense emotions and challenging behaviors. These stressors can often lead to a pattern of negative interactions and power struggles leaving parents frustrated.
I specialize in helping caregivers and their children, tune into each other and change negative patterns. Child-centered play therapy can help all children express their emotions constructively. It also benefits those who struggle to communicate due to developmental delays, ADHD, ID, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
For adolescents, I focus on providing a safe space focused on trust, connection, empathy and resilience, while addressing harmful behaviors and developing valuable skills. I also enjoy helping adults to learn new skills to deal with anxiety, depression, grief & loss, life transitions, peer relationships, and personal growth.
