Reaching out for help is often the hardest part, so good for you for starting the process! It is my goal to understand you as a person first and foremost, which will help me understand how best to help you as we continue our work. While I have been trained in DBT and CBT, my orientation is a bit more humanistic/Existential. I strive to build our therapeutic relationship on compassion, empathy, hard work, and a lot of laughing while we tackle the heavy stuff. The most important way we can build this is through a mutual trust with one another, which is a crucial component to change.

My motto is: "Life is an Adventure!"
As the years pass and my experience deepens, I find that my approach embraces Nature and Positive Psychology more and more as I help people navigate relationships, anxiety, depression, life transitions, aging and existential issues. While I am skilled and knowledgeable about how to help solve problems, work through issues and reducing symptoms, I also feel that it is my calling to help people to access their natural strengths and assets that can help them towards healing. I am currently certified as an EMDR Practitioner.

I approach counseling with the understanding that we are biologically wired for connection. For many people mental health is compromised as our need for connection and meaning in our environment conflicts with cultural imperatives of independence and productivity. I view symptoms of distress as acts of resistance, not individual failings. For many, these acts of resistance result from injuries of marginalization and disconnection. I support clients to explore this resistance in the context of their current environment (friends, family, community). I work with clients from a place of empowerment, not pathology.

I am passionate about people and the stories that make up our lives. I often lead with the question: "What is your story?" And follow with, "What do you want your story to become?" I have spent much of my life examining the roles and symbols embedded in our everyday life, using creativity, interpersonal techniques, to inform powerful personal change. I have over 20 years experience working in therapeutic settings, cultivating space to honor the healing process and narratives in all of us. My compass is driven by compassion, curiosity, creativity and always some laughter. I will hold the shadows but also make room for the light.

When people take the courageous step to seek therapy, they know they want to change something, but they may not know what the thing is, or how to go about changing it.

Family experiences shape our functioning in relationships. Understanding the dynamics & patterns used can lead to better self management in relationships, whether in families, marriages, partnerships or in the workplace. As individuals increase self awareness they are better equipped to navigate the challenges presented to them. When individuals put efforts into changing themselves, I believe that interesting and creative ways of addressing challenges begin to emerge. Managing self requires the ability to find ways to step back from the moment to gain a broader perspective, to gather facts, to strengthen one's knowledge, and to think through a plan of action.

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.
