Amy Horstmeyer

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to creating a compassionate, supportive and non-judgmental environment for my clients. My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges, build resilience and achieve meaningful growth. I hold a clinical license in social work, which grounds my practice in a holistic, person-in-environment approach, meaning I look at you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and tailored entirely to your unique journey. Together, we will use three core pillars to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and achieve measurable success.

• Psychoeducation: We will explore how your brain, nervous system, and emotions interact. This insight helps you make sense of your experiences and removes the mystery behind how you feel.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We will work as a team to identify and reshape the unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck.
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): We will tap into your natural strengths and resources to build immediate, practical tools that promote rapid, positive change.

Your first session is a welcoming, collaborative space focused on building comfort and understanding your unique story. Together, we will discuss the current challenges that brought you to therapy, while briefly exploring your background and history. We will also review essential logistics, like confidentiality, to ensure you feel entirely safe and informed. Finally, we will map out your personal goals and design a practical roadmap using our three core pillars. This initial conversation ensures we launch your therapeutic journey with a clear, personalized plan for success.
