My approach to counseling is grounded in a person-centered philosophy that values empathy, acceptance, and respect, while also maintaining healthy boundaries that support growth and accountability. I believe each individual has the capacity to find their own unique path toward healing and purpose, and my role is to walk alongside them as they discover it.

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?

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and adults in managing anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. With advanced training in counselor education and supervision, I integrate academic insight with hands-on clinical practice to deliver effective, evidence-based care. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and person-centered counseling to foster resilience, clarity, and growth. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients develop the tools they need to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Hello, I am Viktoria. Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own. There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish. Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Hi! I’m a graduate of Barry University with my license in Mental Health Counseling. I specialize in trauma, grief, and self-esteem. I offer individual, family, and marriage and couples therapy to families. Feeling stuck is part of being human—but you don’t have to stay there. We all carry the weight of past mistakes and difficult moments, but healing begins when we choose to move forward. Progress isn’t always linear or perfect, and that’s okay. What matters is recognizing growth—however small—and continuing to move toward a healthier, more balanced life. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I’m here to help you navigate those stuck places with compassion and clarity. My person-centered approach is tailored to your strengths, your goals, and the pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating life changes, or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I offer a supportive space where meaningful change can happen. With flexible teletherapy options—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—you can begin your journey to wellness from the comfort of your own space. Reach out by email, phone, or text to take the first step. I look forward to helping you become the best version of yourself.

With the ups and downs of life, there are ways we learn to cope and deal with the good and the bad that life throws at us. Some days are easier than others, and finding peace in the midst of chaos is easier said than done. With each new "adventure" we have opportunities to learn and grow. Life is better when we are thriving, instead of just surviving. My hope is that through counseling we can explore together what makes a difference for you and how you can thrive. It is my goal to help others by walking with them in life as they explore and discover what brings them joy and fulfillment, and supporting them as they reach those goals. Through my experience working with child, adolescents and adults with co-occurring mental health disorders at the outpatient and IOP levels, I have always aimed to assist the individual in reaching for the best versions of themselves. I also have special training in EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Emotion Focused Therapy EFT, Gottman Method Relationship Therapy, , and Trust Based Relationship Interventions TBRI . With the availability and convenience of telehealth, therapy is more accessible than ever. Help can be just one phone call away.
