Welcome to my profile. I am taking new clients both in person and via teletherapy. I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years and enjoy working with those who are 13 years and older. I work with those struggling with PTSD, anxiety, panic, depression, anxiety, communication problems and relationship issues.

My forte is a faith based marriage/ family counseling process with emphasis upon a systems perspective of family dynamics. I am a LCSW certified in NLP with an MBA. This blend of education and experience allows me to offer a strong theoretical support and life experience to my clients who are seeking to improve their family as well as their personal development/growth. I use an eclectic blend of therapeutic processes that include but not limited to RT (Reality Therapy) CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) SFT (Solution-Focused Therapy) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

Offering video sessions, phone sessions, and live chat sessions. I have had the honor and satisfaction of working with a wide range of people experiencing relationship and/or transitional issues, as well as more serious problems including mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, menopausal issues, pre and post bariatric surgery adjustment, trauma, OCD, grief and divorce recovery. Within the scope of general adult and child and adolescent counseling I offer individual psychotherapy, family sessions, couple's counseling, and some testing. I use Hope therapy and seek to build on people's strengths.ver

Strengthen. Rebuild. Connect. Support. I specialize in treating children and adolescents and am dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Through individual and family therapy I will help your child strengthen their foundation and rebuild even after life’s most challenging obstacles. My approach to therapy not only focuses on empowering the youth I have the privilege of working with- but also strengthening the family unit. I work closely with the loved ones of my patients to promote lasting change, strengthen connection, and increase feelings of support.

Change can happen quickly. Are you feeling like you just can't keep going the way things are? Are you ready to be less stressed and happier in your life, your marriage and your family ? Are you ready to learn skills to make changes?

I believe in treating the client as a whole person, and not a diagnosis. I treat each client with empathy, integrity, and respect. I work with all ages from child to senior citizens to criminal offenders. I have over 25 years of experience in health care and case management. Each client will receive 100% of my knowledge and education during your personal recovery. I also offer professional mediation services from a certified professional mediator for clients facing divorce and custody issues.

Amy Hublou is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and has been in practice for more than 20 years. Amy earned her Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and provides traditional talk therapy as well as a variety of Nature-Based therapies with a special emphasis on Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP).

My approach to counseling includes client-centered support and practical feedback to help my clients find the clarity, emotional healing, and personal growth they are striving for. My focus is helping teens and adults with their desire for improved personal growth and self-esteem, and addressing their symptoms related to anxiety and depression caused by various life situations, such as family issues, relationships, school and work. Often, the symptoms of anxiety and depression can be very debilitating, affecting all aspects of our lives.

I understand that the thought of going to therapy can generate massive feelings of anxiety, but really, therapy is a hopeful process, one of realizing your strengths and learning more advantageous approaches to the challenges life can bring. I specialize in therapy with adolescents and adults, couples, individuals, families and blended families. *Not accepting new clients at this time.

Life can sometimes be really hard. Sometimes by our own doing, sometimes because of someone else, and sometimes you just don't feel 'right'. These bumps (or mountains sometimes!) can be tough to get through. Whether it's you, your marriage or relationship, or your family that is struggling, I want to work together with you to get you back to where you need to be. I value authenticity and desire to be 'real' with my clients.

**Not accepting new clients** The therapeutic relationship is the most significant contribution to successful therapy & a key component in the change process. I ensure a collaborative environment exists where individual strengths are recognized and used as the foundation to enhance overall well-being. I believe in a judgement free environment and ensure each client is seen, heard, and understood. I seek to empower my clients in their own journey of healing and exploration. I promote positive self-care and engage in activities that lead to a well-balanced life that include spending time with my husband, son & two big dogs.

I work from a client-centered, strengths-based approach. I will assist you in gaining a better understanding of who you are, what you want, and how to achieve your goals. We will identify your skills and assets and utilize these gifts to overcome challenges, increase awareness & move towards achieving the life you want. We will work in a supportive environment where you as the client are able to share your thoughts & concerns openly. Through this process we can address communication & skills-building needs, relationship issues, life transitions, grief or loss issues, family concerns, & goals to achieve your highest potential.

SCHEDULE CURRENTLY FULL AS OF 12/21. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming. You feel stuck. You want a healthier, more satisfying life story. Reaching out for help takes courage (though you may not feel brave at the moment). My goal is to provide a comforting, accepting environment where you feel safe to share your stories, explore new perspectives on your narrative, discover helpful coping tools, and maximize your strengths. I work with individuals, couples, and families doing just this. You are the expert in your life, and I have expertise in the counseling process. Together we can find clarity and direction in your story.

Before becoming a counselor, I was an educator for 8 years, in the classroom, I found myself drawn towards spending more time with children that needed a little extra help or support. Since then, my passion has become working with teens to identify and explore fears, by accepting one’s self and discovering and creating a path to who they want to become. I work one on one with teens that are struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, LGBTQ+, and abuse.

In my practice, I work with adolescents, children and adults. My specialties include: relationship problems, adolescent development, health psychology, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, learning disabilities and attentional problems. Infertility counseling is also a special interest of mine, including third party reproduction issues (donor and surrogacy). My therapeutic approach varies depending on the issues with which you are struggling and who you are as a person. I don't have one approach that fits all clients but tailor my work to the individual. In general, I help clients identify and enhance their current psychological strengths in order to address their problems.

Clients are welcomed into my space where ever they are in terms of understanding, self-awareness, and emotion--anger, tearfulness, confusion--all are accepted as part of the process. Sessions focus on the 'here and now' while also exploring historical issues being triggered and mis-managed. I confront irrational thinking and help clients re-script their less-than-helpful language around feeling 'not good enough,' 'broken,' or 'lost.' Ultimately, clients can expect to focus on their issues--whatever they may be--and will, in the process, come to feel genuinely known, accepted, and not so alone in the process of their lives.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to change behaviors that are not working. I work to empower clients to make necessary internal and external changes to become more self aware enabling them to live in peace and integrity. Moving from the problem to the solution is the goal.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker that earned my degree from Northwest Nazarene University. My experience includes suicide prevention, addiction, and advocating for children in the court system. My graduate work involved a case study and research regarding diagnosis, parenting practices, and treatment of children with oppositional defiant disorder. Additionally, I am trained in Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy and have experience working with individuals and families on post-adoption and blended family issues.

I have considerable experience and expertise working with parents, children, adolescents and families in crisis that may have specific issues related to separated/divorced parents, adoptive, foster and blended families. I especially enjoy collaborating with parents to bring out the best in their children and the parent-child relationship. In addition, I provide couples and individual counseling for those dealing with communication difficulties, anger management issues, loss, trauma, abuse, developmental issues and those with chronic psychiatric conditions.
