Amy Warren, a skilled Counselor and LMHC, specializes in trauma recovery, codependency, and relationship dynamics, particularly focusing on the emotional reconnection of men. In her practice, she supports clients as they heal underlying wounds that impact adult life, facilitating a transition from reactivity to responsiveness and from victimization to empowerment. Amy fosters a non-judgmental environment where clients can identify and address core issues linked to depression, anxiety, addictions, and relationship challenges. Utilizing a multi-modal approach that includes counseling, EMDR, Neurofeedback, and intensive workshops, Amy provides comprehensive services in one setting. Notably, Infraslow (IISF) Neurofeedback allows clients to achieve greater calmness, alertness, and resilience, reducing or often eliminating the need for medication. This non-invasive brain training stabilizes the autonomic nervous system, enhances emotional regulation, and aids trauma survivors in shifting from a state of fight, flight, or freeze to one of rest and repair. Through EMDR, clients work to alter negative self-beliefs and navigate unresolved traumas. With extensive training from experts like Pia Mellody and Terry Real, Amy's individual and couples counseling is deeply influenced by their methodologies. Healthy self-esteem, boundaries, reality acknowledgment, self-care, and moderation are fundamental principles guiding her therapeutic practice.
