About

I’m Amy Hamilton, a dedicated and compassionate licensed therapist who specializes in providing guidance and support to children, teens, and families facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My extensive experience encompasses assisting young individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns, as well as navigating complex issues such as attachment difficulties, family dynamics, and the traumatic effects of bullying. Moreover, I am adept at working with children and adolescents experiencing behavioral obstacles, including those within the autism spectrum. My approach My theoretical approach is primarily rooted in humanist/client-centered principles, emphasizing the inherent worth and potential for growth within each individual. In addition to this foundational approach, I also find value in integrating elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy, as they provide practical tools and a structured framework for addressing specific concerns and working towards tangible solutions within the therapeutic process.
