Amelia (Amy) Benedict, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amelia (Amy)!

We all fall down from time to time. It takes courage to seek help and support during those times when we have difficulty getting back up. I commend you for taking the first step.

My focus

I think remote work is perfectly suited for someone with mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress and anger management.

My approach

I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic modalities, with a focus on unconditional positive regard.

My communication style

My counseling style is warm and empathetic. I believe in treating everyone with respect and being non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I initially made this career choice because I wanted to learn how to help myself and my family. I discovered I had a real passion and talent for connecting with and understanding others.

My goals for you

I will work with you to identify your strengths and tailor treatment to meet your specific needs for those with mild to moderate symptoms.

Our first session

Your first session will be learning about you and what brings you to therapy. It is normal to feel nervous at first, but I will work with you to help you feel safe.
