I specialize in working with children who have learning disabilities, developmental delays, behavioral and emotional problems, including school difficulties, Autism, ADHD, anxiety and depression.

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.”- Carl Jung. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with all ages. I have worked with children and families for over 20 years, and my greatest joy is found in being a “helper.” Registered Play Therapist means that I have a specialty in play therapy. While this specialty equips me in a unique way to work with children and adolescents, I believe that play helps us to see our way through life's problems with fresh eyes. It's common for me to incorporate some playfulness in all my work with families and individuals.

I welcome all of my clients intersectionality in sessions. My clinical practice engages in culturally responsive trauma- informed healing. My work centers with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

Are you going through a major life shift or transition? This could be anything to include a new medical diagnosis, chronic health condition, smoking cessation, weight loss surgery, and/or LGBTQ issues. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, isolation, or fear of the unknown, I teach people how to assert and advocate for themselves. As you confront the issues that are holding you back I will support you and teach you important skills to enable you to take back your life. I believe in providing the tools you will need to become your own advocate.

Why Hello! I'm Amy. Being apart of the LGBTQIA+ community and growing up experiencing generational trauma, I became oh too familiar with that detached and unseen feeling. I mean in a crisis I was great! But aren't most children survivors? It was those everyday tasks and relationships that seemed so hard. Through my own healing and teachings as a Holistic Therapist I learned to become unstuck from the past and find peace in the present. This is now what I do for my clients! I combine evidence-based practices with holistic full system wellness to help my clients find their peace and power! It's Time!

Rapid Eye Technology (RET) is a powerful ocular-assisted stress relief technique and a leading modality in treating PTSD symptoms. This powerful quick release happens without reliving the trauma. RET simulates REM sleep—your body’s own natural release system where problems are solved. Accessing the whole mind/body system while in an awake state allows you to be in control of your own journey; you now have your conscious mind to make a new choice concerning presenting issues. It's all part of your natural discharge mechanism and helps in repairing neural pathways that have been distorted by traumatic memories.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a focus on helping clients rebuild, restructure and work through tough situations. I have a strong background in the natural sciences and philsophy and incorporate this experience into my clinical work and have found this to be a very effective approach in seeing clients effectively work through and resolve issues in their lives. I primarily focus on a cognitive behavioral therapy approach as it is an applied model to use as a template that describes the internal distress with specific methods to apply and reduce severity of those stressors.

I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals who are driven to make positive changes, who may currently be experiencing difficult circumstances, and/or who seek guidance in navigating personal relationships. I want to help clients identify areas for growth and to be adequately prepared for any obstacles.

I am a Deaf psychotherapist and use American Sign Language. I want you to have the truest, most beautiful life you can imagine, and believe that transformative healing can happen when someone feels seen and understood without any communication barriers.

With all the joy and beauty life has to offer, pain is also part of the human condition. When we are in the middle of it all we often become our own worst critic and lose objectivity. In my 74 years I have found there are acceptable alternatives to most situations. I would be honored to help you explore. Sincerely, Lou Lile B.S. / M.A. / LPC / Personal Website: LouLile.com

Carl Rogers said, “People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be.” Carl Rogers' words have influenced my approach to therapy. Every client has unique challenges and perspective that requires unique therapy. I combine Person Centered Therapy, Behavior Therapy, and Play Therapy techniques. When working with adolescents and adults, I approach our work through a Person Centered lens and believe you are the expert in your own life. Children sometimes struggle in a traditional therapy session, I provide Child Centered Play Therapy for children indicated for that modality and I am also a Certified AutPlay Therapy Provider.

The outside noise can often become so loud that it becomes difficult to find our center. When we lose our center, we often have increased anxious thoughts and difficulty regulating our emotions. Maybe you struggle with feeling connected to yourself and others around you. Maybe you want support in increasing your own sense of purpose, love and belonging. I believe we all have the ability to grow a deeper connection to our inner self. When this happens, our relationship with the world around us transforms.

I am a dedicated counselor who practices with a person-centered lens, utilizing mindfulness practices and embracing holistic treatment perspectives. I firmly believe that each individual possesses the inherent capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery. Incorporating mindfulness practices will help cultivate present-moment awareness and develop a compassionate understanding of ourselves. My primary focus is on fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, as I consider it to be the cornerstone of effective counseling.
