Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Amity draws on play-based child therapy and a strengths-oriented, collaborative approach to support clients. Play therapy uses age-appropriate, symbolic play to help children express feelings, process difficult experiences, and build social and emotional skills; it is well suited to parenting concerns, attachment issues, and childhood responses to trauma. A strengths-based, collaborative approach focuses on identifying existing resources and capabilities within a person and their family, helping with motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and decision-making.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Amity partners with each person to understand their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts methods as the relationship and progress unfold. This collaborative process helps tailor care that fits the individual or family.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow sessions to fit into work, school, and family life while maintaining continuity of care.
