“My therapist, Amy Sword was absolutely amazing. I had problems with my first appointment with connection and was in a terrible mood, Amy was very understanding and we decided to reschedule for a couple days later. At that appointment, she was exactly what I needed and more. I’m looking forward to my next appointment very much so ”

Getting to know Amy Sword
Hi there, I'm Amy!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (psychotherapist) in our great state 48, Arizona, with a Master?s in Social Work from Tulane University. I use a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, in which you are the expert who holds the tools needed to move towards the life you seek. I enjoy working with pre-teen to older adults to help navigate life stressors and challenges and to build the life you desire.
My approach
I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach. I utilize Solution Focused Brief Theory, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Trauma-informed Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Polyvagal Theory as my primary modalities. I provide psychoeducation and resources relevant to your treatment goals, which may include at-home exercises to practice skills outside of the session.
My focus
I have worked in a middle school, a crisis observation unit, a mobile crisis team, and outpatient and inpatient settings. With this experience, I have worked with kids as young as 4 and seniors up to 88 with a variety of concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, bipolar, psychosis, substance use, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, and various life stressors and transitions.
My communication style
I love to provide a safe space for my clients to explore and process. I provide non-judgmental empathetic listening, allowing you to focus on moving towards your best hopes for the future. I provide handouts or resources if you desire more information to review outside of the session.
My goals for you
You are the expert! I use solution-focused questions to help guide our work together, but you are the driver. We work on the treatment goals that matter most to you.
My first session with you
Building rapport and a therapeutic relationship is the first priority. I want this to be a safe space for you to be you fully. I look forward to hearing more about what brings you to therapy now and what you want to work towards.
