The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. - Albert Camus
I'm Amie Koontz: a musician, sex and communication educator, integrative psychotherapist and specialist in the neurobiology of connection.
I know what it's like to try to control your world through endless schedules and to-do lists, to numb out or feel like an exposed nerve, to put everyone and everything else first... to try SO HARD and wonder if anyone really cares, living on auto-pilot until you shut down or wind up reacting in ways you aren’t proud of. It doesn't have to be that way.

Earth school isn't easy. It brings up all kinds of feelings that can be intense, frightening and painful. We all benefit from being in the presence of someone who can support us to be with those feelings, to allow them and learn from them. Someone who can remind us of our own wisdom and how to follow it.

** UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME ** I believe that all people have innate potential for growth and change. This belief is the cornerstone of my practice and my commitment to you is to use that conviction to inform our work together. I have experience working with individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, PTSD and other effects of trauma, grief and loss, aging, and parenting and relationship challenges. I also have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorders and/or intellectual disabilities and their families.

My name is Jesse Roessler, and I am a licensed clinical mental health therapist. I am licensed in both Louisiana and Vermont. I approach therapy from a person center perspective. I work with adults needing support during various life transitions and upheavals. My approach is mainly person centered, though I have frequently utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in sessions to help clients shift perspectives to help them achieve their goals. My approach varies from client to client as different modalities are often needed depending upon the individual.

Welcome. I am currently accepting new clients. Variety of openings Monday-Saturday between the hours of 9:30-2:30 (last appointment at 1:30).
Life can be challenging and sometimes we need to connect while navigating through those times. These challenges can include relationships, life transitions, parenting, work-life balance, ongoing stressors, or our own past to name a few.

I am interested in your story of who you are- how you got here and where you want to go next. This may include joys, hard lessons, celebrations, grief and periods of uncertainty. It may also be unfolding in ways you don’t know how to talk about yet.
All of this will be welcome as we work together to make room for new ways of being or letting go of old patterns that no longer serve you. I am aware these changes can be both liberating and uncomfortable. Therapy should be a safe place for this process to unfold at a pace that works for you.

I work closely and collaboratively with individuals and couples to move them beyond old, repetitive and unhappy patterns that hinder growth and freedom. Change happens in a deeply personal way, and never without trepidation. Effective therapy is a mutual undertaking in which fears, anxieties and deeply held beliefs are discovered and shifted. Depressive feelings, anxiety, unhappy work or personal relationships are often the result of unknown roadblocks we erect to protect us at a cost. Therapy provides a private and safe venue for discovering the reasons why life can feel flat, meaningless or frightening and can be the catalyst for profound movement and growth.
