Since my teens (a very long time ago) I've been in and out of therapy. I always loved having…read moresomeone to go to that would let me vent about my week, listen without judgement, and just be in my corner. Over the years...and years... I've probably seen around 15 different therapists. I've moved. They've moved. Many, I only saw a couple of times before realizing they just weren't a good fit for me. Then there was the one that had a creepy ass collection of porcelain dolls in her office. They stared at me. I never returned. So, let's just say I've been around the block a few times when it comes to therapists. K? I contacted Amy originally about couples counseling. My partner and I went in and after the first session I knew I found someone special. She was very different than anyone I had seen before... Now let me back up. Previously, my experience with therapists always left me with the feeling that they were simply my personal paid cheerleaders. Yay me!!! They would pet me (ummm.. metaphorically), smile and nod, make all my feelings about life feel validated, give me a sucker and send me off into the world freshly stroked. Rinse. Repeat the following week. I didn't hate that. Enter Amy G. She took my sucker, tossed it aside and put a mirror in front of me. Then she made me look. WTF??? Ugh!!! She's making me DO THINGS!?!? Yeah ok... that didn't literally happen but that's pretty much how I felt. Was it scary? Hell yes. Did it need to happen? Yes, it certainly did. I never knew how much I needed a good hard look at myself. She is authentic AF. Honest and forthright. She will dig deep. She will challenge you. She will find things buried that you don't even remember hiding. Then she will make you look at it. Hard. You will confront it and it will be a bit daunting... and then.. It won't. Before you know it she's rinsing off your sucker and giving it back to you with a smile... and sometimes a joke (Yes, she cleans you out emotionally then can still make you laugh. Black magic perhaps??). Now, off you go with a new personal "knowing" or understanding about yourself. Eventually figuring out together what to do with it. In summation, if you're simply looking for a belly rub and a tickle... Move along. If you're ready to do some work and make some changes.. See Amy. She's kinda awesome. ...and maybe magic...

I had my first appointment with Amy today and it could not have been better. It was a really…read moreseamless first meeting and I felt very heard and understood. I also really enjoy that Amy gives feedback that isn't just your typical therapist response. She listens and responds to YOU. I've had therapy in the past, Amy is different and I would recommend her 10/10 times.

Lauren has been one of the most impactful people in my healing journey. She doesn't just sit back…read moreand nod- she engages, challenges, and helps me look at things from angles I might otherwise miss. She has a way of balancing empathy with honesty that makes me feel both- supported and accountable. I never feel judged, but I also know she won't let me hide behind my own patterns or overthinking. That balance has helped me get out of my own head, challenge my own patterns, and make meaningful changes in my life. From the beginning, I told Lauren I needed someone who would challenge me, not just validate me, and she has consistently shown up in that role. As someone who carries a lot and often feels like I have to navigate life alone, having someone who can extend grace while also refusing to let me stay stuck has been invaluable. Simply an amazing human that I'm grateful to have in my corner.

I started going to my home away from home (empowering counseling one on one) in March 2020 and I was broken! I did not have any drive to continue on this task called life because I believed I wasn't able to. Every week was a struggle in my life. Every session I started to believe in myself and was I better in two weeks NO! However the tasks that I thought I could not do was becoming more easy to do! My attitude changed instead of walking around with my head down I walk around with pride and joy! My coworkers family friends could not believe the change because for the longest they thought I was always mad at the world. I can honestly tell you i may not be the strongest individual mentality however im stronger than the person that started in March 2020. I hope whoever is reading this review you take that step to better yourself not for anybody else but for YOU! I promise you will not regret your decision.
