Getting to know Amy Plaster

When was the last time you were kind to yourself? I'm a warm, supportive therapist who believes that learning to be kind to yourself can be life-changing. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, get curious about what you need, and start showing up for yourself in realistic ways. We'll work together to create goals that feel good - not overwhelming - and celebrate progress every step of the way. My approach You're the expert on your life - my job is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the version of yourself you want to be. I offer a warm, honest, and supportive space to explore what you're feeling and why. Using a flexible, trauma-informed approach that includes CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy, among others, I help clients build insight, identify patterns, and develop coping tools that work. My focus If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start, you're in the right place. I help people who are carrying a lot - mentally and emotionally - learn how to manage stress, build better boundaries, and feel more confident in themselves and their choices. In our work together, we'll identify patterns that aren't serving you and explore where they came from. I'll help you build coping skills that work in your real life, so you can respond to challenges with more clarity and calm. My communication style My communication style is open, honest, and down-to-earth. During our sessions, I'll be warm, calm, and supportive, but also clear and direct when beneficial. You can expect a space where you'll be listened to without judgment, where your feelings will be taken seriously, and where it's safe to tell the truth. My journey to mental healthcare Before becoming a therapist, I worked with people in all kinds of life situations in various community settings. I saw that no matter someone's background, many people struggle with the same core issues - anxiety, shame, disconnection, and self-doubt.
