Amy Grant, LSW
I am a seasoned professional with background in a variety of caregiving roles including lactation consulting and school social worker. In addition, I am an experienced scout leader working with boys and girls age 11-17 through Scouts BSA and enjoy camping and the outdoors. I am passionate about working with adults and youth through relationship changes and life transitions. I am a compassionate and supportive therapist that practices from a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution focused basis while integrating attachment theory and skills from dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
I am trauma informed and have experience with crisis intervention. I am trained in EMDR for work with clients with a history of experiencing trauma. I have experience in supporting new parents, parenting special needs children, navigating career and relationship changes, and chronic illness. I have been working in a variety of supportive roles and have the benefits of maturity and life experience.
I understand that navigating changes in our lives can be challenging and it can be helpful to have someone to walk with as we grow through new phases in life. Whether you are a new parent, experiencing relationship changes, coping with loss, or learning to manage through other challenges, I would love to support you and help you.
