Life can bring upon stressors and trauma that seem impossible to overcome. It may make you feel overwhelmed, defeated, anxious and scared.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and frustrating with the uncertainty of what to do next. Having the courage to come to counseling is the first step to get some of those questions answered. In the beginning, building a good rapport with clients is my focus to help them feel comfortable in the process. I can help clients work through the difficult things that are uncomfortable to think about or even to talk about. Clients do feel rewarded once they do, and they can make the changes they want in their lives. A diagnosis does not have to define as a person, but it can help them live their best life.

I believe that individuals can heal mentally and emotionally with the right resources, supports and encouragement. I am committed to providing a safe, therapeutic environment for clients to explore solutions to distressing life events and circumstances.

Feeling lost? confused? or numb? like you lost your footing on your path on what you want life to be? Feeling like the hard times never end?

It can be so hard to reach out and make that first step as that voice in your head says, " What if.." or "I don't have time." Your time is here. Contact me on however YOU feel comfortable and let me help you to get started on no longer carrying the burdens of yesterday and look forward to today.

“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” John Green. My name is Amy Hauge and I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I started on this path working with youth living in a residential treatment setting who had a troubled history along with emotional and behavioral issues. I then moved on to working with people of all ages as a mental health clinician. I obtained my LPC-MH in 2009. In 2014, I moved on to work with emotionally and behaviorally challenged teenagers in the special education population in the school setting. I am now in private practice and enjoy working with all populations.

My aim is to work with clients who struggle with feeling disconnected from themselves, others, are anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage all the aspects of their lives. When we push our needs aside to without taking time for yourself, this can lead to frustration, resentment, anxiety, depression and stress. I work with you to be able to resolve the barriers that are keeping you from living a full and meaningful life.

I believe individuals have greatness within themselves; it is important to work with a counselor who sees yours, even if you or others do not. I will strive to help you feel comfortable so you can be honest with me and yourself, about your problems, mood complaints or substance use. Often individuals already know what needs to happen, but do not know how to get there. I will meet you where you are, while guiding you to where you want to be.

If you are a survivor, you need to know that your symptoms do not have to define you. You do not have to live in the past and both your brain and body can heal. I specialize in the treatment of complex traumatic responses. Together, we can work toward helping you regain a sense of peace, live in and enjoy the present and create a more hopeful future.

The best way I can describe myself is to use music. I believe music really IS the soundtrack to our lives but it can also express things we may not have the words ourselves. It speaks to our mood and what is happening in our lives or the world for that matter. I feel I am a nice mix of every genre; I find a commonality within me with each genre of music, much like people. I feel I can find our common ground and we will work well together. Just some of the tools you can expect from me will be active listening, role playing, and using the tools you already bring to the session which we will identify.

Life hands you all sorts of experiences that shape the lens through which you see the world. Our bodies and brains naturally adapt to these experiences, but can sometimes result in mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders. Support can help you learn to set boundaries, and work through a loss or life transition - it could be changing a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. Our goal is to help you feel better so you can live better.

Dealing with constant worry, anxiety, or self-doubt can feel like an uphill battle! Events from your past might be affecting your day-to-day life, causing you to carry unnecessary guilt, shame, or fear. Maybe you feel like, no matter what you do, you simply aren’t good enough. Or maybe you’ve reached the end of your rope with flashbacks, nightmares, sleep issues, or anxiety attacks. No matter if you suffer from anxiety that you can’t explain or are able to trace your challenges back to specific events in your past, I am here to help you navigate from hurt to healing. At this time, I have daytime/weekday availability.

When someone is struggling, they want someone who will listen to them and not judge how they feel. These individuals are motivated to work through their mental health struggles, but do not always know how to go about this on their own, that is where we as therapists can step in to help facilitate that change.

I believe working with people who have issues with substance abuse and mental health, e.g. anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, or plainly, trouble coping with life’s challenges is my calling. I have a long history of helping people identify their issues and supporting them as they work toward overcoming them. I appreciate working with people who are relearning ways of dealing with life’s challenges. To know better is to do better. People want to feel in control of their lives. Sometimes they need to learn how. “If you know the why you can manage any how.”

"Effective therapy not only helps people resolve their immediate problems, it teaches them how to build long-lasting, greater life satisfaction." Bring yourself one step closer to having the control over your life that will put you on a positive path to growth and well-being. I practice a "Positive Psychology" approach which is founded on the belief that people WANT to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Are you looking for quick results and relief? Is that even possible? Yes, it is! EMDR or ART might be the right type of therapy if you are looking for effective short-term treatment. Long-term therapy can last several weeks, months, sometimes even years, often without the relief clients hope to find. Now imagine not spending an excessive amount of time and money (compared to traditional therapy) to reach your goal! Let me help you better manage your PTSD, trauma(s), anxieties, and self-confidence concerns with EMDR or ART. Want even quicker results? Consider EMDR intensive sessions, which is the speediest therapy with rapid result.
