Amy Sifford

My communication style

I create a warm and welcoming space where you can share as deeply as you're comfortable. I'm genuinely interested in your experiences, friendly, and plain-spoken. I use humor and colloquial phrases, and my hope is our time together will benefit you in meaningful ways.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've long been drawn to the idea that we depend on one another to survive and thrive. None of us is immune to sadness, loss, or trauma, and sometimes the load is too heavy to carry alone. I began as a volunteer and worked extensively with adult survivors of abuse, domestic violence, and life transitions.

My goals for you

Goal setting is based on what you hope to achieve, whether it be to decrease symptoms, improve coping, increase self-awareness or confidence, accept a loss, explore life patterns, or improve interpersonal communication.

Our first session

I'll conduct a formal assessment of your symptoms and what brings you to therapy, and get a general idea of how you hope to benefit from our time together. We'll discuss policies for appointments, insurance, and emergencies. We'll also make our next appointment and decide how often we'll meet.
