I am an experienced clinician in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, mood regulation, and relational conflict. I work primarily with adolescents and adults. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming practitioner and understand the unique needs of LGBTQ+ youth and their families. I am a strong and committed advocate for social justice.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sweet, professional and caring. Amy is fantastic at helping you set goals and achieve them. I've grown so much since seeing her. Couldn't say enough positive things about her.

She’s the best!

One session with Amy was enough to make me feel comfortable talking about my problems. Amy listens to you no matter what, but it's how she interacts with you that makes it a positive experience. She is able to talk to people as if she was a close friend or parent but KNOWS when to advise and give advice as a therapist. She also helps you with setting goals and sending you positive videos, audio, etc. if she thinks it will benefit you. What more can I say? She's great.

Amy helped me work through an emotional spiral that had me chasing my own tail. But she didn’t tell me. She helped guide me to it in realizing it for myself. She even continued to check on me months after my issue had been resolved. Thank you Amy!

Living with Major Depressive Disorder has been challenge for a long time in my very short life. Amy has worked with me for the better part of three years, and i have gained a meaning relationship, reconciliation with my father and bought my first home. There is no cure for mdd, but if you have been prescribed medication, you must take additional steps. The first step is therapy. Amy George has been more than just a step. She has been my advisor, mentor and friend. Thanks Amy!

Amy is the first therapist I fell 100% comfortable with. She is the only therapist l have been consistent with and I have not once ever felt like I want to quit therapy… This is big for me as I normally do walk away from therapists. She listens to me and gives me the best advice. Amy has helped me though so many issues from my past and present. Amy is very understanding and not only listens & gives good advice but she provides resources to help with coping strategies, provides reading material and even videos that assist with issues at hand. 10/10 Recommend!! Amy is AMAZING!!

I have only been working with Amy just a short while but the times we have chatted I leave the session feeling relieved.

Amy is the first therapist I've had through better help and the first I've had as an adult. She's very supportive of my gender identity and my sexuality and has helped me in ways I don't think I've even realized yet. She's super kind and I'm grateful I got someone so understanding.
