Getting to know Amy Kirkland

My goal is to assist clients in navigating life’s challenges. Our minds can get stuck in the “on” position when overwhelmed by unexpected changes or disappointments. When our fear network is in overdrive, we experience many negative emotions. As your therapist, I work collaboratively to disarm and dispel unhelpful coping methods. My psychotherapy approach is eclectic, including techniques from CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Interventions, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems. I empower clients to manage mental health by fostering healthier thinking and coping strategies. Through personalized, client-centered therapy, I create a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploring thoughts and feelings. I prioritize each individual’s unique needs with active listening, empathy, and guidance. Together, we identify strengths and achieve goals for lasting positive change. Clients motivated to change and flexible in thinking benefit most from therapy. I enjoy working with those willing to actively engage in growth. Therapy takes courage, and I respect that commitment. I pride myself on active listening and truly hearing your story. I ask questions to fully understand your unique situation and appreciate corrections if I misunderstand. I also value a sense of humor. I am nonjudgmental and accepting of all people. My journey to becoming a mental healthcare provider began in high school with an interest in social problems and their impact on individuals. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, which laid the foundation for my clinical skills and passion for helping others.
