Getting to know Amy Scher

Hi there, I'm Amy! My highest goal as your therapist is to help you become the best you possible. Together we can focus on your hopes, dreams and goals. We will be able to discover what are the possible roadblocks that are holding you back from attaining those goals. Nothing makes me happier than to see a person grow into their authentic self. My focus I believe that any individual can benefit from being willing to look within themselves. The process of therapy is a unique and powerful process to explore who you are and who you want to be without judgment or pressure. My desire is to see a person blossom and unfold like a beautiful flower. My approach I use a humanistic approach in dealing with my clients. I respect each individual’s needs and desires in achieving their goals. I provide a safe space for anyone to explore their dynamics within their selves and in their relationships. My communication style I’m an active and non-judgmental listener with an ear to help clarify what I’m hearing and to ask questions to encourage the client to look deeper into themselves. My goal is to help build a strong and safe connection that encourages growth. My journey to mental healthcare As a college student exploring what my desired field of study would be and after choosing two other majors, I came across psychology as a sophomore. It was an amazing experience, like finding a diamond in the rough that fit perfectly with my feeling of wanting to help others. My desire to achieve that goal has never been altered to this day. My goals for you I encourage everyone to express their goals and needs. In the process of learning more about you, together we can ascertain what’s the best way to achieve your goals. There’s always room to change and adjust your goals as therapy unfolds.
