Channie Amato, LMFT

Channie Amato, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Channie Amato, LMFT 94845, is a licensed therapist with over 13 years of experience, offering a holistic, individualistic, and collaborative approach to building self-awareness, improving relationships, and enhancing healthy coping strategies like breathing work and mindfulness to support clients’ overall wellbeing. My approach I use an eclectic approach, drawing from various theories to best fit each client’s needs. From talk therapy to expressive arts therapy to mindfulness and grounding techniques, I tailor my methods accordingly. I have training in mindfulness, breath work, EMDR, narcissistic abuse, codependency, and art therapy. I view the person as a whole, acknowledging the connection of mind, body, and spirit. My focus Working with older adolescents through older adults, I support clients facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, healing from narcissistic abuse, codependency, self-esteem and confidence issues, grief, bereavement, trauma, PTSD, and pain. My communication style I provide a non-judgmental, warm, and safe environment for clients to explore and express their true selves. I act as a guide on the client’s journey toward self-exploration, helping illuminate multiple paths and find their truth. My journey to mental healthcare I took AP Psychology in high school, loved the subject, and pursued psychology at the University of California, Riverside. My passion for painting, dancing, and expressive arts combined with psychology led me to Art Therapy. I earned my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate University, integrating art therapy into my practice. Graduating in 2010, I completed licensure while growing my family. As a mother of three children, ages 6, 10, and 12, I understand the importance of balance and compassion in healing.
