Hi, glad you're here! My name is Amelia. I'm a licensed clinical social worker. Like you, I believe connecting with the right therapist that you feel comfortable with, feel safe sharing with, and most importantly trust, is one of the most important relationships an individual can have. I have provided individual, family, and group counseling for children, adolescents, and adults dealing with trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, complex medical issues, and anger control problems for the last 6 years.

Finding the right therapist is a way to practice self advocacy! I value you considering me to meet your needs! Clients often come to me to work on difficult events, such as workplace or school stress, traumatic experiences, cultural traumas, coming out, transitioning, struggling with substance misuse, or even the things that the world labels as positive, such as a new job, marriage, or graduations. I value authenticity, autonomy, and vulnerability. As a consent-based humanistic therapist, I greatly value your growth and needs.

I support you in a non-judgmental safe environment to do the toughest work you may face...healing your emotions and triggers - without having to re-live any trauma - and WITH actionable steps forward. I specialize in the Subconscious Mind using a combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Internal Family Systems to reveal buried core beliefs - that unknowing to you are the actual cause of the issues that you face. Books & talk therapy not worked for you? That's why. If you're struggling with childhood trauma, emotional overwhelm, or triggers that leave you feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, it may be time to try something new.

My diverse work experiences have allowed me to counsel individuals struggling with such issues as anxiety, depression, addiction, adjust to unexpected life events, grief, and trauma. My work in the field of trauma has also included working with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and childhood abuse. In addition, I have spent years working in the fields of home health and hospice, as well as providing support and psychotherapy to homeless individuals and those suffering from HIV/AIDS.
