Teletherapy for Vermont
In my work with individuals, families, and couples, I embody a supportive and accepting approach with the notion that every person has the capacity to grow even when facing challenges along the way. I am aware that for some, therapy can be threatening and uncomfortable to even consider, so I strive to create an atmosphere that is safe, comfortable and authentic. I truly believe in the positive influence of conversations that promote self-reflection, critical thinking and alternative perspectives to discover and enhance untapped skills and tools which can increase life satisfaction.

Therapy is one of the most unique experiences an individual can gift themselves. I wholeheartedly believe in the art and science of internal evolution and growth. That philosophy is what drives my practice. Life can become extremely complicated at times, however, together we can carefully unravel some of the complexities that may be interfering with reaching your ideal sense of self. I work with adults to facilitate a process which offers an unparalleled opportunity to thoroughly explore/understand origins of one’s pathology by encouraging curiosity and thoughtful reflection to empower individuals to create the life they deserve.

Your days seem to blend together, grasped tightly in the hands of pressures and to-dos. Most of your energy is spent trying to avoid mistakes or “bad” situations, but this exhausts you. It’s possible that you even spend a lot of time worrying about others, people-pleasing, running yourself ragged trying to keep your head afloat in the water you hardly recognize as your life. As you try to sleep your brain replays everything you “should” have done differently, things you have to do tomorrow, and whether or not everything you’re doing is even enough. It feels sometimes like you don’t even have control over your own mind.

I will provide a safe and comfortable space for you to explore issues that have caused you difficulties or hindered your goals.

You are the expert about your needs.

Relationships are the foundation of well being. Perhaps you are worried about your marriage, facing a divorce or the loss of a job, the breakup of a family business, adult children who blame you for their struggles or your struggle to find a love match or the perfect job. How do I find my way through this?

I work with clients of all ages in a trauma-informed, future-facing coaching experience. With children, time together is play-based and informed by holistic learning theories. Parenting, personal goal setting, joyful relationships, and strength based family systems are some of the issues adult clients come to me to address. In the era of Covid, many want a safe place to process their thoughts and feelings, and the ways their ideas of the future have changed.

The world is feeling pretty cold right now. Let's build fires.
I'm Amie Koontz, a musician, neuromuscular therapist, sex and regulation educator & holistic psychotherapist working with adults & relationships of all structures in Vermont. I know what it's like to try to control your world through endless schedules and to-do lists, to numb out or be an exposed nerve, to put everyone & everything else first, to try HARD, to wonder if anyone really cares, to live on auto-pilot until you are jolted into reactions you aren’t proud of. To criticize yourself SO harshly. It doesn't have to be that way.

I have been in the counseling field for over 30 years and have spent my time in Community Mental Health and Private Practice. I believe in the power of the human spirit to rise above the suffering that we all experience. Mindfulness is the foundation of my practice and I believe that becoming aware of our thinking patterns and distortions can move us in the direction of less suffering. When we can live in the present moment we can be free of the past and the depression this can cause and free of the future where anxiety and worry can reside. We can shed the stories we have carried for many years and develop a more spiritual path.
