Getting to know Amy Ratkovich
Hi there, I'm Amy!
I have a Master's of the Arts in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. I have worked primarily in private practice sense 2015 as well as in residential treatment for recovery from addiction. I typically prefer to meet people where they are at and hold the creative tension of where they are to where they want to be as a guide to journey along side you towards freeing yourself from suffering.
My approach
I believe in meeting people where they are at while gently holding the tension between where they are and where they want to be. I believe in mindfulness self compassion as a base for all the work and take an integrative mind/body/spirit/cultural lens to support people in creating lives worth living and healthy relationships with themselves and their communities.
My focus
I prefer working with young women 18 to 35 who would like to reduce anxiety or are experiencing complex trauma which are impacting their relationships and capacity to manage stress in work and in life who desire to feel empowered and healthy.
My communication style
I typically have a soft tone, warm demeanor and use non violent communication to inform my style of listening.
My journey to therapy
I usually answer this with a joke: "I became a therapist because I had a perfect childhood and I just want everyone else to know what that is like." ;) Really though, I want my life to have purpose. Helping others realize their potential seems like a great purpose. I also wanted to be my own boss. I studied holistic health and psychology at SFSU in my undergraduate, went to CIIS in SF for my masters, I have taken a year long training in coaching, studied Non violent communication in various contexts, mentored under a Biofeedback and Self Regulation expert Dr. Erik Peper in the Holistic Health Department of SFSU, publishing research on his book "Make Health Happen."
