Amy O'Malley, LICSW — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Amy!

I'm so glad you've decided to invest in yourself. You deserve support, and I'm here to help. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma. I take a client-centered approach, tailoring each session to your needs in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself.

My focus

I work with all age groups and understand how difficult it can be to open up about anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma. I'm culturally competent and well-versed in end-of-life issues as well as children and adolescent concerns. Whatever issue or goal you have, I'll help you develop and achieve it.

My approach

I typically will use Cognitive behavioral therapy; however, every client is different. I also utilize solution-focused therapy. Every person is different, so what works with one patient may not work for the next.

My communication style

I have clear, open communication to support an open, communicative, non-judgmental practice. I practice active listening, and if you are going through something really challenging, I will be calm and patient to help you work through it.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began as a young girl wanting to help others. I worked in social services and nursing homes, always enjoying listening and supporting people. Hearing stories of trauma made me want to help others heal. I'm compelled by the belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Whatever goals you want to achieve, we will work on identifying them together and setting them as objectives. We will set a plan together and adapt it as needed. If new goals change or need to be adapted, we will adjust as we see fit. Life is ever-changing, so I'm here to support whatever you need.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we'll build our work together over time. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step.
