ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Lexington, KY

In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I treat a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety and stress, mood disorders, trauma, depression, coping with chronic illness, military family life, and life transitions. I have 30 years of working with service members, families and support system members.

If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by trauma, stress, or relationship challenges, you do not have to manage it alone. I am Amy Beddow, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with children, teens, adults, and families in a supportive, judgment free space. I also work with first responders and help clients build self esteem, emotional balance, and a steadier sense of stability.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides trauma-informed therapy for adults, with a focus on anxiety, perfectionism, and attachment-related concerns. I earned my degree from the University of Alabama and have specialized training in evidence-based, attachment-focused approaches.

I bring an open mind and an open heart when working with my clients. I want to help my clients understand that they are not a problem, but the problem is the problem. I respect my clients and work hard to make them feel heard. I work to support my clients in their circumstances and meet them where they are. I have training in EMDR and narrative therapy. I endeavor to provide treatment that is trauma informed. I use CBT skills as well as other interventions.

I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional burnout. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from difficult emotions, healthier relationships, greater self-confidence, or support through a challenging season of life. Using a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight into unhelpful patterns, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, resilient, and connected to the life you want to live.

My ideal client is someone who is open to the life-changing, transformative solutions that modern psychiatry and mental health can offer. My practice is virtual by design, meeting clients on their terms, during non-traditional hours when they have time to focus on themselves and their needs.

Actively certified in psychiatry and family practice supports my approach to integrated mental health care. I bring to you over 21 years of experience as an NP. Integrating the identification of mental health disorders and physical disorders such as low testosterone, hormone imbalance, thyroid disorders and vitamin deficiency are key steps to improve overall health. Focused care on the mind and bodies interconnected factors is my passion.
