Amy Cartmill

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, burnout, and challenges related to self-esteem and personal growth.

With over 16 years in the helping profession, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of life's challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to provide a space where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult experiences, developing new coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, therapy can offer an opportunity to better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions for adults in West Virginia and Ohio.

**Please note that evening appointments are limited and may not be available for ongoing scheduling. I encourage prospective clients to review my current availability to ensure it aligns with their scheduling needs.

My approach to therapy is warm, authentic, and trauma-informed, combining practical strategies with compassionate support to help clients navigate challenges and move toward growth and healing. I believe that feeling comfortable and understood is essential for meaningful work, so I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are—without judgment.

I also bring a sense of humor into the process when it feels appropriate. Life can be heavy, and sometimes a little levity can help make difficult topics feel more manageable and human. At the same time, I’m direct and honest in my approach—I’ll support you, but I’ll also gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I focus on helping you identify practical ways to move forward, whether that’s building coping skills, gaining insight, or making meaningful changes in your life. Therapy with me is collaborative, and we’ll work together to find strategies that actually fit your goals and your day-to-day reality.

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building a foundation for our work together. I’ll ask questions about what’s bringing you in, your current concerns, and your history so I can better understand your experiences and how to support you.

We’ll also talk about what you’re hoping to get out of therapy—whether that’s managing anxiety or depression, working through past experiences, or navigating a life transition. If you’re not sure yet, that’s completely okay—we’ll figure that out together.

Most importantly, the first session is a space for you to get a sense of whether this feels like a good fit. You’re not expected to share everything all at once—just showing up is a meaningful first step.
