Amy Giarratana

I see my identity as someone who wants to empower others and help them realize their own potential, the same way I had to empower myself at an early age. I've worked in multiple settings throughout my career, including substance use clinics, eating disorder treatment centers, and outpatient settings, doing individual therapy and group therapy and running DBT groups.

I believe it's important to acknowledge how your environment has affected you. For those dealing with eating disorders or disordered eating, I help explore food beliefs, body image, and self-beliefs. For those dealing with other mental health issues I take an integrated approach to therapy and, depending on the client's needs, this might include assigning activities and setting goals for the week! My methods and style work best for teenagers (16+) and adults.

My goal is to help clients know they are enough, live authentically, and be true to themselves. The happiest I can be is when others flourish within their own selves. I'm less interested in helping you find the "good" in bad situations than I am sitting with you in the dark and helping you find a flashlight. I see my identity as someone who wants to empower others and help them realize their own potential!
