Amie Dunstan

Licensed independent social worker with more than 20 years of working in the behavioral health care industry and teaching in higher education. Experienced in dual-diagnosis and mental health counseling. Strong behavioral healthcare professional with a Master of Social Work and a Master of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University. Professional interests include: Trauma, Substance Use Addiction, Sex Addiction, LGBTQ+ issues, Gender, and Spiritual Trauma.

Hobbies include: kayaking, reading, travel, spending time outdoors-bird watching, swimming and hand feeding the squirrels. I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, a turtle and a shark, so to say I’m an animal lover is an understatement. I also have too many houseplants, but I love being surrounded by people and things that fill my cup and remind me that life is to be lived.

I practice client-centered therapy by providing clients with a safe space to process whatever they would like help working through, without judgment and without criticism. I specialize in Trauma Focused Treatment, LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy, Mindfulness Based Techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy & Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

The first session will focus on building therapeutic rapport while also identifying problems, objectives, goals and interventions that will be used to create a treatment plan together.
