Amy Bear, LPC

Are you searching for support and guidance in handling a difficult challenge? Are you having trouble moving forward to where you want to be in life? Therapy often uncovers the most effective way to face life’s situations and circumstances.

My approach is supportive, respectful and collaborative. I begin therapy with reflective listening to understand what’s causing feelings of distress, anxiety, depression, or hopelessness. Together we will discover how your past is affecting your life now. We will identify your natural strengths and abilities and how these traits can help you overcome self-sabotaging ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.

I work with people who need help with relationships, dysfunctional behaviors, anxiety and stress, depression, life transition, and general frustration with work and life. I will help you find deeper meaning through self-exploration and insight, which can lead to life-changing attitudes, greater satisfaction and a more joyful life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and a Distance Credentialed Counselor. I have been in private practice for 10 years and a Distance Credentialed Counselor for two years. I am the author From Charm to Harm: The Guide to Spotting, Naming, and Stopping Emotional Abuse in Intimate Relationships (Balboa Press, an imprint of Hay House 2014)

Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about therapy. I look forward to hearing from you.
