Amy Sullivan, LPCC-S

I am a a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor, trainer and CEO of Rooted Compassion Counseling and Consulting, LLC. As a Certified Trauma Responsive Counselor, I understand and apply knowledge of interpersonal neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and specialize in utilizing and teaching about the nervous system to help people move into post-traumatic healing and growth. My goal is to help clients realize their mental health goals, experience healing and an increased sense of well-being. I work from a biology-based approach to healing - with the understanding that feelings are expressed first through the nervous system and then are processed in the brain. My style is compassionate, empathetic, direct, and infused with humor. As a somatic health expert, I provides compassionate, person-focused, and practical therapy to individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and work-life balance challenges. Having twenty years of experience as a massage therapist and body worker uniquely positions me to understand and appreciate the body-mind connection.
In sessions with me, you can expect me to encourage you to make this connection for yourself while accessing the wealth of information your nervous system has to offer you about feelings and past experiences. This connection brings lasting, healing and substantial growth.
