For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET. Each trauma intervention is quite different in method but the ultimate goal is the same: post traumatic growth.

I think one of the most important parts of therapy is finding the right "fit". That relationship is key in helping grow, trust and meet any goals that you might have going into the therapeutic process. Let me give you a glimpse of who I am! I'm Amy, a LMHC, who has been in the counseling world for over 15 years and love what I get to do. I started my career in the community health sector which I learned so much and worked with diverse groups of people with an array of various needs. I have worked in school settings as well as in homes. I have been deep within the community in many of my roles along the way. I have developed many techniques along the way as not one intervention will work for everyone. Some of the modalities I use are EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques as well as a combination of these. I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?

Hi! I'm a bilingual English/Spanish LCSW in both Florida and Nevada. I'm the therapist who talks during sessions, who interacts and works WITH you to find a path forward. I work with action-oriented, goal-directed folks who think something isn't working in their lives...but they just aren't sure what to do about it! My clients would describe me as a down-to-earth, thoughtful, interesting, and fun individual!

As a therapist who specializes in a person-centered approach, I provide a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space for adults seeking to explore and understand their emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. I work with individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship struggles, helping them build a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. By fostering a genuine, compassionate therapeutic relationship, I empower clients to tap into their inner strengths and make positive changes at their own pace. Through this collaborative process, clients often experience increased clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience, enabling them to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives.
