Amy is a wonderful therapist and has changed my quality of life in a short time. She has provided me tools that I didn’t even know I needed. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology so I always felt like I knew tips and tricks to improve my well being. Well, when you have a therapist like Amy, it is like having someone who gives you a key that unlock a whole new box of answers. She truly is amazing, a great listener, and so kind. When I talk to her, I feel like I’m talking to a friend.

Hi there!
Congratulations on taking action for your self-care.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for nearly 30 years. I enjoy helping others learn to help themselves; there's nothing more empowering. I believe everyone has the right to be treated with dignity, respect and acceptance, and interact with others accordingly.
I highly value creating a therapeutic alliance with my Clients to create an effective plan of action and would welcome the opportunity to do so with you.

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.

Three sessions in and so far so good. Amy is a resourceful and empathetic professional with a lot of experience. I enjoy working with her.
Helps me get to the true root of my problems, taking things a few steps deeper than previous therapy work. I'm confident in her ability to guide me through the process of understanding certain behaviors, re-aligning the parts of me that do not serve me in their current roles, and learning to navigate extreme life stressors. I'm also confident the results will be long-lasting.
Ms. Swetnam is a great listener and really offers constructive suggestions to support me in bettering my mental health.
