Amy Wood

For more than 30 years as a psychologist and executive coach, I have helped parents, business professionals, and organizational leaders navigate their unique pressures and challenges with calm, clarity, and confidence. My background in corporate communications deepens my understanding of workplace dynamics, enhancing the ways I support clients facing stress and overwhelm in both work and life.

As a therapist and coach, I specialize in helping people recognize and release patterns that keep them feeling stuck, so they can tap into unique strengths and move forward intentionally and with greater ease. In today’s world of constant distraction, I am passionate about guiding clients to reconnect with their inner clarity and authority, allowing them to succeed in ways that truly reflect their own values and goals. I am especially skilled at helping people reduce overwhelm and focus on their personal essentials for productivity and happiness.

My advanced training includes a doctorate from Adler University and certification from the College of Executive Coaching. I have authored two books—Life Your Way: Refresh Your Approach to Success and Breathe Easier in a Fast-paced World and Lawyer Like an Athlete: Up Your Game at Work and in Life—and often share insights on Maine Public Radio’s Maine Calling. My work has appeared in publications ranging from Maine Bar Journal to Parade Magazine.

I’m a psychologist and executive coach with thirty years of experience, holding a doctorate from Adler University and certification from the College of Executive Coaching. I provide a warm, grounded, and straightforward space where you can focus on what matters most, release distractions, and move steadily toward your personal and professional goals.

My style is conversational and collaborative, drawing on deep psychological insight and practical coaching strategies to help you create real, lasting change. I often suggest tailored steps or reflections between meetings so progress feels both immediate and sustainable. I help people stay agile amid constant demands and disruptions—shifting direction when needed without losing their inner grounding or sense of clarity.

Clients often find that our work together helps them reconnect with their intuition as a reliable source of direction and perspective. When relevant, I weave in metaphysical principles in a way that’s pragmatic and accessible, supporting genuine self-awareness and growth. My goal is always to help you move through uncertainty with steadiness and purpose, experiencing less stress and more fulfillment as you align with what truly matters.

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you in a broad, meaningful way—understanding what brings you to therapy within the context of your whole life, including your personal and professional circumstances. The session will feel like a thoughtful conversation, giving us both a chance to see how we might work together. You’ll have time to ask any questions, share what’s most important to you, and get a sense of my approach. Before we end, I’ll outline how I would address your concerns collaboratively and discuss possible next steps.
