Photo of Amy Clay - Sunstone Counseling, LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 25 years of experience in private practice. I’m dedicated to helping clients navigate various issues, including anxiety, overwhelm, panic disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and especially interpersonal relationship dynamics. I counsel from a trauma informed, gender affirming perspective, understanding that each client has their unique intersection of cultural and social contexts such as race, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and religion to name a few.

My expertise extends to couples work, including premarital counseling, navigating parenthood, repairing relationships post-affair, creating new monogamy agreements, and overcoming intimacy and sexual issues. My primary relationship training is as an IMAGO therapist, yet I incorporate a variety of relational therapeutic approaches.

As co-owner of Sunstone Counseling, I not only serve clients but also dedicate time to training fellow counseling professionals by providing clinical supervision for Residents in Counseling. I’m passionate about connecting clients to the right support, whether it be through my own services or by facilitating the perfect match at Sunstone Counseling.
