Amelia Flynn, MA MFTTherapeutic Specialties: Boundary Multicultural families and couples, parental relationships with adolescents, relationship illness, premarital counseling
Therapeutic Approach: I believe that the word exists in an interconnected fashion which creates and sustains dominate themes that govern our interactions, beliefs, assumptions and perceptions of ourselves and others. I seek to collaborate with clients in journeying through the process of re-storying those themes in an effort to strengthen, elevate, and promote self compassion, growth in relationships, and evolving awareness. I also pursue a culturally humble approach to therapy, recognizing that each individual is a collection of context and culture that is welcomed and encouraged in the therapeutic environment.

Therapeutic Approach: Coming to therapy requires investment in time and money. I tailor the session for each client and strive to offer insights, resources, and action-based skills to practice in between the sessions. We often bestow our sense of identity through our relationships and our work. We yearn to be loved and feel connected. Simultaneously, we want to feel a sense of purpose personally and in our professional career. Our journey together would involve exploring fulfillment in multiple dimensions of life – SELF, LOVE, and CAREER. I utilize cutting edge couples therapy techniques drawn from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT); The Gottman Method; and Imago Therapy to guide both individuals and couples to have a better understanding of their needs and vision for the healthy enriching relationship. I have extensive experience in working with clients to navigate through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and suicidality. I utilize EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques. I also provide career coaching for those who have lost their jobs; are in quarter-life/mid-life crisis; or are considering a career change to reinvent themselves. I can also help you with resume revamp and interview preparation. Works with: Adults, Couples, LGBTQIA+, International Students, Expatriates, C-Suite Executives Read expanded bio... |
