Getting to know Amy Guertin
If you've never been in therapy before, I know it can be a scary step. Be proud of your bravery. If you have been in therapy before, I'm glad you chose to return. Either way, my job is to help you find your strengths to learn to manage any issues you are dealing with so you can find your peace again. It is a journey and it won't always be easy, but it will be worth it. I have been a therapist and a psychology professor for 30 years. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Lewis University. I have worked with children, teens, and adults, although I have spent the majority of my career working with teens. I enjoy teens because I have a lot of patience for them. I believe in psychoeducation in therapy. I think that it's not only important to understand what you are doing but why you are doing it. Only by understanding both can you make the changes necessary for long-term happiness. I also believe in working on both the present and the past. I want to help you figure out how to make the present better immediately, while also working to understand anything from your past that may have helped lead to any current issues. Working on both in combination will give the most thorough explanation and avenue for effective treatment. Most importantly, I believe in working together. I may be the "expert," but only you know what is working and what isn't. I will ask you for feedback and I will listen to what you have to say. I am more than willing to do phone appointments if you find them more comfortable than video appointments. Just let me know.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I always give clients something to do between sessions. It might be a technique to try, an article to read, or a step to take toward a personal goal. I want clients to always feel that they are working toward their own improvement not just an hour a week but throughout their lives. Accomplishing things throughout the week not only reinforces what is discussed in therapy but it helps to empower you to take control of your own mental health and well-being. Nothing changes without practice.
