Getting to know Amy Byrne
If you are struggling with anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or substance abuse, I can collaborate with you to understand your concerns and how to treat them. Over the last 20 years, I have problem-solved with clients, helping them find serenity despite difficulties. There are solutions, and together we can find the right answers for you as an individual. If you are questioning a diagnosis or wondering if you have a problem, I have the experience to help you figure this out.
I provide individual therapy for adults and their families, focusing on understanding the diagnosis and the most effective treatment. My psychotherapy addresses obstacles to success and fosters peacefulness. Healing involves addressing the past while moving toward future goals. I also offer substance abuse counseling that emphasizes recovery and growth.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, which informs my compassionate and effective approach to care.

It was okay, but I closed within 15 min of the start. Just not the right fit. Need someone who has an understanding at least of there being a world outside of the box.

I was initially drawn to Amy as a counselor because she specializes in bipolar. She has supported me in this area tremendously as I often experience extreme highs and lows along with anxiety.
