Parenting is a journey filled with love, challenges, and moments of uncertainty. If your child is struggling with emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, or past trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I specialize in working with children, teens, and parents to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and build lifelong emotional resilience.
I’m Amy Salay, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about guiding families toward deeper connections.

I empower parents with tools to support their child’s growth, manage behavioral struggles, and create a nurturing home environment. Whether your family is facing anxiety, behavioral challenges, or relationship struggles, I provide a compassionate space for healing and growth. Together, we can build stronger bonds and lasting changes,
