"Believe in your resilience. Believe in the power of evolution and change."

How would it feel to move beyond what’s been holding you back? What might life look like for you and your partner if you were more aligned, and your deepest desires and dreams became a reality?

Life can sometimes present challenges that we did not expect. Emotional pain and regrets can weigh you down, and leave you feeling defeated and drained. Negative thought and behavior patterns can have us believing we’re trapped to repeat the same mistakes, or that joy and peace of mind are out of reach.

Despite how you may feel right now, you don’t have to continue like this. You are worthy of a rich, satisfying life that’s free of fear, suffering, and discord. I help clients connect with and embrace their inner truth, evolve their story, and align with a healing path.

You deserve the opportunity to transform your life and how you feel.

Meet Amy Schell, LMHC,
Licensed Psychotherapist

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, who works with individuals and couples in New York City and throughout New York state.

I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, and sex and intimacy concerns, among other areas of clinical importance. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method, and Psychodynamic techniques, nourished by mindfulness and self-care practices. I create a personalized therapy experience, with an emphasis on building upon individual strengths.

Together we’ll work to help you:

  • Regulate and improve mood by healthily shifting thought patterns
  • Replace unproductive coping mechanisms with skills that optimize well-being
  • Heal from trauma and regain a sense of inner peace and security
  • Address relational dynamics that interfere with intimacy
  • Increase joy and connection in your relationships

If you’re undecided, and/or would like to learn more about how therapy can help your concern(s), please feel free to book a complimentary 30-minute consultation with me today.

MY THERAPY STYLE

There are so many ‘best’ parts of therapy, it is hard to pick just one. A favorite, however, is watching a client really dig deep into the work, allow themselves to be vulnerable and real and open, and transform in the process. To watch a client become who and what they wanted to be, after being fearful or doubtful of their potential, is truly unrivaled.

First I would acknowledge that it is completely normal to feel ambivalent about starting therapy for the first time. I would offer assurance that therapy provides a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space. In this space, you can talk about any issue you need or feel ready to disclose, and at the pace that feels right to you. I’d like to assure you that our time together is entirely dedicated to supporting you, however that might look.

I have always known that I wanted to become a therapist because, quite simply, I am deeply passionate about supporting others through their process of change. There is tremendous beauty and bravery involved in each individuals’ personal transformation.

I believe it is an honor to be entrusted by another person with their most private concerns and vulnerable expressions and an equal privilege, in turn, to help that person connect to their truth, and manifest it forward with meaningful and fulfilling changes within themselves. As a therapist, I am devoted to this work and I look forward to supporting you in the same way.
