Meet the Team
Amy Greenwall, ACMHC
I love helping individuals, couples, and families to thrive and find ways to live their best lives. Despite our best intentions and efforts, life is challenging. I care deeply about helping people to find ways through their difficulties, and to build the kind of life that matters most to them. We are relational beings, many of our wounds happen in relationships, and that means that we often heal best in relationship with supportive others. That is what makes the therapeutic relationship so rich for healing and growth. I believe in offering empathetic presence for clients, to be a caring witness to their experience, seeking to help them to find meaning and purpose in their lives, and to remember their inherent value and worth.
Sometimes healing involves re-navigating the structure of relationships that are in distress, finding new ways of being in relationship with others; and at other times it involves looking deeply within ourselves, to better understand what we are needing and wanting from our lives, and what needs to change in order to enact the life that we are wanting.
Distress shows up in many different ways in people, but at root, it means that something is not working for us. A supportive therapeutic relationship can help clients find clarity and understanding about what is no longer working for them, and how to make changes in their lives so that their lives better fit their needs.
Whether clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, mood symptoms, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, or other forms of difficulties, good therapy can help you to find ways through life’s challenges, and ways to thrive in the life you have. Our pain points us in the direction of what is not working for us and helps us to see where change is needed. Sometimes this means lifestyle changes like a new career, more balanced pace, or changes to relationship dynamics, and sometimes it means greater acceptance of the things that we cannot change in life, but can learn to make peace with. Navigating this balance is at the heart of psychotherapy.
I would love to support you in this journey of healing and transformation, and know from much personal experience that there is light at the end of what can feel like a very dark tunnel. We can walk through it together.
