“During one of our first sessions, Amy told me that she was going to hold out hope for me until I could see it for myself. And that’s exactly what she did. She gave me a safe, welcoming space to heal in, as well as coping and survival skills that I still use today. I am still benefiting from her wise and gracious counsel.” -Jenn 36

"I began therapy at the angsty age of fifteen while my parents were going through a long and difficult divorce process. Based on the first few therapists I tried out, I took a strong disliking to therapy. Meeting Amy was so refreshing. I found it easy to open up and connect with her. I felt that she truly cared for me--my past, my present, and my future--that she, too, was invested in it somehow. I felt valued and respected yet not treated as a victim of my circumstances. She helped me work through my hardships and process my grief and some trauma. One of the many lessons I learned was that the pain was not my fault, but healing was my responsibility. Amy has helped me become the woman I am today (and still becoming).  She brought fun and joy into sessions just by who she is. She laughed with me and cried with me. She changed my life. The few times I reflect on this, even now, I get tears in my eyes. Thank you, Amy." - Steph, 24

“Amy Brant is amazing at what she does. I struggle with family conflicts, Anxiety, and Depression, which are tough waters to navigate. Amy was willing to listen, challenge me and support me through some of the hardest years of my life. During my time with Amy, I learned to become more confident in my decision-making skills and how to set healthy and appropriate boundaries. I am very grateful to have her expertise in my life and would recommend her highly to anyone dealing with similar issues.” – Elise 22

“Amy was such a blessing to me during a big time of transition. With friendly compassion she helped me identify the strengths I already had, and how to use them practically in my every day life. I always left a counseling session with Amy encouraged and empowered." -Briar 35

“Counseling was a game changer for me. For a lot of years, I have struggled deeply with anxiety and an unhealthy relationship with my body. I didn’t know how to trust myself, my decisions or emotions, let alone, trust other people. Committing to counseling allowed for me to receive the tools necessary to cope with my anxiety, experience freedom from body shame, and learn how to practice compassion with myself. I think that’s my biggest take away from meeting with Amy, learning how important and crucial simply PRACTICING compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and grace is, AND that I won’t get it right every time, but I get to keep practicing. Anxiety doesn’t really go away forever, it’s something I had to learn to live with. But now, I am in charge of my mind and anxiety no longer gets to dictate my emotions or reactions.” – Hope 29

Counseling has changed my life. Amy took the time to get to know me and figure out strategic and personal ways of addressing my anxiety, fear, my over-active mind and a whole host of other things. It was the first time I have experienced grace truly and fully (both God’s and my own). Practicing mindfulness was one of the most beautiful and healing methods we used in counseling. It was a way for me to connect to God, wrestle with my faith, tap into my love for creativity and story in order to address my own struggles.”  - Jules 30
