Amy Benedict

Amy Benedict, a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with an MEd, believes that life's challenges are a natural part of the human experience and that seeking support is a sign of strength. She welcomes individuals, couples, and families into her practice, where she fosters an environment for inner growth and relational awareness. Her therapeutic approach is holistic and rooted in attachment theory, drawing on her extensive experience in education and the arts, as well as her role as a Life-Cycle Celebrant. She specializes in working with diverse clients facing trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, and navigating life transitions. Amy employs a range of therapy types including Imago, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, among others, to help clients explore the roots of their distress. She illuminates patterns of disconnection, anxiety, and grief, guiding clients toward a more compassionate connection with themselves and their relationships. To enhance the therapeutic process, she integrates mindfulness and artistic techniques, empowering clients to engage their imagination and deepen their journey. While she does not accept insurance, Amy ensures that financial hardship will be considered if they find mutual alignment. Embracing the idea that reaching out can be daunting, she encourages individuals to take a deep breath and connect for a complimentary conversation.
