More about Amy

- LCMHC
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working as a mental health therapist and life coach. I have worked with Clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem related issues, PTSD (childhood, domestic violence, physical trauma, emotional trauma, sexual assault, MST, and Combat trauma), relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have also helped many people with geriatric/elder transitional related issues.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, strength based, and solution-focused therapies. . I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs based on your personal goals.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amy has been a lovely person to connect with through a year of losses. I'm so grateful.
Amy has been great! She has helped me navigate a difficult time in my life and was a pleasure to work with.
Amy is an incredible therapist. She has a very warm personality coupled with an attentive demeanor that made it easy to open up during our sessions. Amy offered great insights and helped me to find some resolution on a host of issues. I would highly recommend Amy.
Amy has a very warm therapy style & is very understanding. She listens with respect to learn and understand & never judges. Her sessions are filled with care, genuine compassion & desire to help. She gently nudges you into finding your way & reaching your own conclusions. It is with her support that I’ve made big progress in my therapy journey.
Amy Parsons has been my most sustained and clarifying therapy experience across a very difficult time. Thank you, Amy. I really appreciate the shorter weekly sessions and by meeting on the phone / audio we have been able to connect consistency even if I travel.
Im so glad I was paired either Amy. The few months I had with her were such a delight. She's the sweetest person and best of all she listens without judgement. She is patient and truly wants to help you get better.
Amy was the first therapist I was matched with, and I’m so glad I didn’t need to venture to find another. She has unquestionable expertise and a sense of humor. I’d recommend her to anyone!
She listens and almost reading my thoughts, she is helping me to overcome my previous relationship.
I’ve liked working with Amy so far to deal with my personal issues. She knows how to encourage a person to explore their problems rationally, and working with her has helped me to be more grounded.
Amy is the best and kindest therapist i ever met. she so understanding and listens well and gives good advice. helped me alot and i am forever grateful
Amy is the absolute best! Sure listens understand, and is super authentic and present. She has helped me a great deal.
Amy is thoughtful, caring, kind, and accepting. She meets me where I am emotionally each and every time we talk, and she has been a source of strength and consistency throughout this tumultuous time of my life. Her feedback is gentle and not directive, encouraging growth without forcing it. So grateful for Amy and all that she does!!
