Professional Statement

My name is Amy Childers. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been providing therapy for the last 12 years and have been licensed for 5 years. I aim to provide a compassionate, friendly, and easygoing approach in my therapy practice.

I am LGBTQIA friendly and can work with teens, families, and adults. The many issues I work to address in therapy range from trauma related, post-partum anxiety and depression, stress related, anger, depression, or family conflict. My approach is a well-rounded, whole person approach, to assist clients with decrease of symptoms and help them live a more fulfilling life. I collaborate with my client to create a treatment plan with realistic goals that fit them and allows clients to be successful and move forward in their lives without the need of constant therapy. I utilize treatment approaches from CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Supportive Therapy, and EMDR models. My life philosophy and treatment philosophy both see the importance of empowerment. If one feels empowered in their life, they are motivated to grow and seek continued ways to improve themselves. That is why I constantly aim to empower each client and develop a treatment approach that is important to them. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your healing journey.
