Amy Carapanta (she/they) RP(Q)
Providing in-person, online or phone sessions
I extend a warm welcome to all who seek solace along their travels through life. Join me in a nurturing space of gentle healing and support—a soft place to land where you can unburden yourself of whatever weighs heavy on your soul. Whether it's pain, uncertainty, or simply the need to be heard, if you want to sit with it for a moment, I'm here to help you hold it.
In my practice, vulnerability is celebrated as a profound display of strength. Your stories are honored here, and you deserve to be fully seen and understood in all your humanity. I am here to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can authentically express yourself, explore your emotions, and move through healing at your own pace.
Approach
My approach is trauma-informed, with a focus on somatic integration to deeply connect mind, body, and spirit. I embrace a client-centered, holistic approach that integrates various evidence-based therapies, including ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
I take an individualized approach, drawing from your frame of reference to tailor our therapy sessions to suit your unique needs. Collaborating closely with you, my primary aim is to establish goals that are meaningful for you, nurturing growth and facilitating healing. My commitment is to support you wherever you are in your path towards well-being.
