Amy Anderson, LCSW

At times, having someone that can provide a non-judgmental space that promotes honest self-reflection & growth discovery; while also building effective interpersonal relationship skills such as emotional regulation skills, boundaries, mindfulness approaches, and communication tools that aid in introspection IS EXTREMELY empowering to one's higher consciousness & overall well-being in life trajectory. Life IS amplified and invigorated when we go inwards to harness our inner strengths & hone our weaknesses, effectively for inner child co-regulation/ synergy, which enhances our relationship health with others (and in turn our overall well-being). I am a real human, with real problems I have leveraged to help and heal others over the last 21 years. Coming from a childhood neglectful environment, I sought out Psychology and Communication as an undergraduate student as forms of understanding my own inner dialogue rooted in shame. This led me to study Social Psychology in Queensland, Australia and Social Work in San Bernardino, CA to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who studied extensively Alcohol and Drug Studies as a Counselor Certificate in San Diego, CA in 2009. I have been who has been working in highly clinical environments since 2004 and thrive on helping others uncover their inner potential. I use a compassionate, collaborative & non-judgmental (yet firm) approach that incorporates evidence based trauma informed interventions such as EMDR, Gottman Method Couples, Jungian Inner Child work, & Internal Family Systems that allow for us to uncover the parts that are no longer working for you and your relationships, with high rates of success. My practice is physically located in San Diego, CA and I offer Telehealth services to those residing in California and Pennsylvania! My office hours are: Monday-Friday; early in the morning, later in the evening on Tuesday and Wednesdays, and Saturday appointments available for Couples and Family intensives only. Walk n talk and virtual appointments only offered on Friday. Many of my clients are hard working, dedicated to trying to do the right thing to earn love, yet burnout and dissociated symptoms are prevalent and therefore getting in touch, in person, possibly with nature, in walk n talk service locations may be the healing missing element in your full body, mind, soul experience. Please reach out to me to see if it would be a good fit for your therapeutic needs. I am happy to offer a 15 minute telephone consultation to see if I would be a good fit for your needs!
