Amy Weald
I believe that counseling should be a welcoming and inclusive space for all people. My fundamental belief is that we all deserve to be seen and heard in our journey through life. I feel best when I can create a space for clients to be themselves and live their life authentically. I prefer a more unstructured and natural style of therapy where I let client’s experiences guide the direction of therapy. I enjoy using tools such as media (TV shows, movies, books, music, and writing) to explore the inner world of client’s lives, but most of all I enjoy meeting each client where they are at in their journey. I use authenticity, humor, and the therapeutic relationship to create a space where you get to be authentically you. I works primarily with adult individuals living with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD. I offer inclusive, educated, and affirmative care. I have a special interest in working with clients who are new to therapy or have had previous experience in therapy that left them looking for a new space to be themselves. After our universal experience of a global pandemic, I envisioned how therapy could transform to better meet the needs of the client in an ever-changing and unpredictable world. I experienced firsthand the ground-shifting impact therapy can continue to have virtually. I decided to shift to a fully telehealth care structure to expand my reach to clients far and wide. I also noticed that when clients get the opportunity to do therapy from a space of their choice, it opens up a deeper feeling of comfort and connection while also eliminating the power dynamic that often exists in healthcare settings. As an added bonus, this also means zero stress over driving to an office, where to park, taking time out of your work day, or needing to cancel sessions when you’re traveling.
