She utilizes a number of different tools and treatment modalities, including music, art, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), mindfulness practices, and Supportive Therapy. Amy fosters a collaborative, caring, and comfortable relationship with clients. Her sessions are client-led, and she never pushes them to talk about something until they are ready.
