Amy Brightman

Amy Brightman is a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and Therapist (LCSW, PMH-C) dedicated to creating a therapeutic space where clients can confront challenges while nurturing their strengths. She works with both adults and teens looking to enhance their wellness, manage emotions, build self-esteem, improve communication, and effectively cope with stress. By fostering an environment of safety and understanding, Amy helps clients respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. With a particular emphasis on perinatal mental health, she is passionate about supporting individuals dealing with fertility issues, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum challenges, and the transitions of infant parenthood. Amy employs various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Psychodynamic approaches, all integrated through mindfulness and body awareness to promote holistic well-being. In her sessions, she encourages clients to explore core beliefs, examine diverse perspectives, and commit to behavioral changes that promote growth. Her goal is to equip clients with the skills they need to navigate life's challenges, fostering self-understanding and emotional resilience. Starting therapy can be daunting, but Amy prioritizes building a strong rapport with each client, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported. Through a collaborative journey, she looks forward to guiding clients toward a greater sense of self-compassion and empowerment.
