LET'S GET STARTED ON YOUR QUEST

Amy Harper has worked with countless women and couples on resolving martial conflict and crafting their ideal lives and marriages. Using the best of what Eastern Philosophy and Modern Psychology have to offer, Amy helps you to cultivate insight and make the mental shifts necessary to ultimately transform your life and/or marriage. Whether you have a partner that is on the same page as you, or you are ready to take the first steps solo and lead by example, change is possible! It actually only takes ONE person to completely transform an entire family system.

By using cutting edge techniques that create health and healing at the root level, your triggering challenges are resolved long term. Many of the interventions offered in traditional couples counseling seem to act like bandaids to otherwise gaping wounds. The wounds causing your upset are far deeper and need much more attention to create long lasting change!

If you are ready to resolve your conflicts and learn to connect more deeply to yourself and your partner, reach out to Amy and get started on your path to wellness today!

I am empathic and offer encouragement to my clients to assist in fostering hope and a successful counseling outcome.

My clinical experience includes assessment, diagnosis, and crisis counseling. Additional therapeutic services include clients experiencing domestic violence.

I have co-counseled Dialectical Behavioral Therapy groups to assist clients with emotional regulation. I have experience working with the most severely mentally ill. I utilize evidence based theoretical models to find what interventions are best fit for client's individual needs, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing.

I am a therapist who values the uniqueness of my clients needs. I believe a client's spirituality and/or faith can play a significant role in fostering hope and attaining a successful counseling outcome.
