“I have a very specific need and the website did not make it easy to find a therapist who is licensed in both Colorado and Hawaii who does couples counseling and can accommodate both my work schedule and my partner's work schedule and is a good fit, and that is what I was hoping to find. The website didn't even ask if I was seeking couples counseling or individual counseling, so I did use the opportunity to talk with an individual therapist for this meeting. I need to speak with someone who can help me figure out the system; specifically, I have some benefits through work for 6 free sessions followed by copay pricing through my insurer, but I want to know if that can get me 6 individual sessions and 6 couples sessions because they are different issues being discussed or strictly 6 in total for the calendar year or for the billing year (when does the 6 reset?)... I have questions about using my benefits and finding the right match.
Amy was lovely. If I am able to get individual sessions AND couples sessions, I will likely continue individual sessions with Amy. But I want to talk logistics with someone.”

Getting to know Amy Winebarger
My career began in 1997 as an AmeriCorps member working in harm reduction during the peak of new HIV infections. Since then, I've held many roles as a proud social worker. I have been a therapist for 18 years, with extensive training and experience in Harm Reduction Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. I have lived experience with mental health challenges and see my own therapist twice weekly.
I was born in Big Rapids, Michigan and currently live in Detroit. I have previously worked and lived in:
Charlotte, North Carolina,
San Francisco, California,
Michigan (all over the lower peninsula), and
Oahu, Hawaii.
I have a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, with specialization in addiction, sexuality, and mental health.
One treatment does not fit all, and not all therapists are a good fit! Some clients seek help with a specific issue, where we might use a protocol or modality (CBT etc.) and track progress through symptom measurement. Most often, my clients want a relaxed, less "clinical" experience that incorporates these same principles and concepts without feeling like our sessions are "manualized."
Together, we WILL keep therapy fresh and relevant. Assessment will continue throughout your care, not just in the first session. It often takes time to diagnose and make meaning of a mental health disorder, so we will take our time as needed! Our focus will shift as your issues resolve and needs change. We WILL address shame, stigma, safety, and barriers ALL throughout our work together.
