Our professional group practice offers various services including professional therapy, life coaching and testing services. At The Center, we are passionate about empowering people to find pathways of growth and healing, to gain awareness/understanding of barriers and obstacles to health, to see our clients discover their God-given temperaments and to help them grow lives they love living. We provide best practice clinical care while additionally offering a faith-based integrative approach to clients who would like to incorporate their spirituality into counseling.

Throughout my 10 years working in mental health, I have learned how important it is to our healing to be connected in heart and body. I believe building a better understanding of this mind-body connection and the impact it can have on both our physical and mental health is critical in symptom management, emotional regulation, stress management, overall health and wellness, and navigating our everyday life in this world.

Maybe it was a difficult decision to think about asking for help due to stigma or fear. It has been my experience that even the strongest people need help sometimes. Whether you are under a lot of stress, are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, are suffering from PTSD or self esteem issues, you do not have to do it alone.

We provide counseling services to individuals, couples and families through Western Pennsylvania. Whether you are seeking treatment as an individual adult, a child, or teen, our multi-specialty approach will support your goals of resolving emotional, psychological, and relationship issues. For couples and families, our mental health specialists are experts in supporting your relationship as you gain greater friendship, intimacy, and communication barriers.

I have been helping clients of all ages, races, and backgrounds live more fulfilling, rewarding, hopeful lives for as long as I can remember. It was natural for me to become a psychologist and make my mark on the world by doing exactly what I loved to do. Although my clients continually tell me how much they are helped by therapy, I can honestly say that I am the one who is truly changed by helping others. No matter what your difficulties are, I can assure you that you will be changed in some way by entering therapy. There is no difficulty too great or too small to work on in therapy. The only constant in life is change.

My goal as a counselor is to create a positive, supportive environment in which you can explore yourself, your needs,and your goals. You will also have the opportunity to assess the barriers that prevent you from reaching your full potential. The rational, holistic, and non-judgmental nature to the counseling I provide allows YOU to guide your own counseling experience.

You have already taken the first step toward a healthier version of you, by searching for support. Finding the right therapist is important, so that you are as comfortable as possible through your treatment. I use an integrative approach in talking with people to help them find their way through difficult times, not a "one size fits all" style. Each client is unique and valued. Through this process, strategies for managing your challenges will be developed in a supportive environment without judgment. The goals of treatment include stabilization of symptoms so that your length of stay is no longer than necessary.

Whether you suffer from the effects of a single trauma or a lifetime of overwhelming events, relationship distress, tough transitions, compulsive behavior, or addiction, we can help. We bring focused, informed attention to touch your concerns at a depth and pace respectful of your boundaries. Working together, stuck places move; painful, unsustainable states return to balance. Amy's decades of experience working with stress, intergenerational patterns, and chronic suffering via bodywork, movement therapy, group facilitation, and psychotherapy informs our work. Each provider enriches our approach to eliciting change.
