Bring calm confidence back into your parenting.

Amy Dunn, IFS Therapist

Ready to get started?

You remember a time when anxiety and overwhelm weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory.

Don’t you wish you had the ability to change that?

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

Hi, I'm Amy, and I can help.

I help people who are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and stuck. People who have it within them make changes to improve their lives, and just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find ways to

understand
process
find real/lasting relief

from the emotions that are overwhelming them. by equipping them with the tools/coping skills so they can move forward with calm confidence. Through our work together they learn how to respond, rather than react.

I AM DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE FIND REAL AND LASTING RELIEF.

My formal training means I have the expertise you need and deserve when (result i.e. healing your relationships). But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to raise a kid with high support needs.

I get it because I'm doing it too..

I know what it's like

to take my child to endless therapy sessions every week.
to advocate for my child in an IEP meeting.
to try to get help for a medically complex child in the 10 minutes insurance allots for a doctor visit.
to have to solve problems that other families don't face while raising their children.

And I know what it's like to feel the big feelings that go along with those scenarios.

anxiety
depression
overwhelm
grief
anger

When we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.

Services

Anxiety and Trauma

Many approaches to counseling focus on the development of coping skills, leaving so many people to feel like they are not able to get to the root of what is bothering them. You are looking for something deeper. You don't want just coping skills, you want resolution.

Through our work together we will focus on working through the biggest barriers to your wellbeing. As we do this work together, you will be gaining the skills that you will use continue to use after therapy ends.

Parenting High Needs Kids

You've tried to get your anxiety, anger, grief and overwhelm to go away and leave you alone. But shoving them into the background never works for very long and can just leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected from yourself. It might even feel impossible to imagine you could ever find relief from exhaustion, overwhelm and and stress.

Let's try something different. I can help you to find ways to process those big feelings so you no longer need to carry all of these out-of-control thoughts and emotions. Instead you can find room for contentment and joy and fun.

IFS Therapy

It may feel impossible now, but you can live a life with more confidence and peace.

IFS therapy can help understand yourself in a radically different way. This is the first step to finding more peace, more Self-compassion, more joy, more relaxation and more out of this life.

You can learn how to complete a stress response cycle so you can move through that experience and let it go. You can find resolutions for the things that are making it impossible for you to move beyond an endless cycle of stress.

FAQs

What to expect.

The first thing we will do is a free 15- minute consultation. This gives us a chance to ask each other questions and see if this feels like a good fit. I will ask about your goals for counseling, and answer any questions you have working together.

Our first session will be information gathering. We will talk about your history, any diagnoses and what you want to work on.

In our second session I will begin to help you start to explore your inner world so you can begin to understand yourself in a new way.

What insurance do you accept?

I accept most forms of Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS).

Don't worry, we will verify your coverage before we get started. I will give you a list with the information BCBS will need from you as well as the exact questions to ask BCBS. That way you will know what you can expect before we get started.

I do not accept any other insurance other than BCBS.

I am not able to offer Superbills for out of network coverage.

What are your fees?

My fees are $175 for a 55-minute counseling session.

Where are you located?

I am located just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. Because I am solely a telehealth provider, I can offer telehealth sessions to people throughout North Carolina.

Do you offer couple's counseling or work with kids?

No, I only do individual work with adults.
