Amy Kates, LCSW

I am a passionate and caring therapist who helps individuals and couples heal and discover what is holding them back from reaching their full potential and enjoying life.  I partner with my clients to help them achieve intimacy, satisfaction and success in their relationships and lives. 

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman and Imago therapy to help couples work through negative patterns and learn more effective ways to communicate. I also work with individuals struggling with relationships, stage of life transitions, self-esteem, and anxiety. I will provide a positive and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings; a space where you find comfort and inclusivity.

I have empathy and experience, and ready for people who are motivated to change their lives. Whether you are tired of having the same fight over and over again with your partner or having difficulty picking up the pieces from infidelity. I would be honored to begin your journey and help you through the therapeutic process. Finding the right therapist is important and can be life-changing.

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I followed my passion and graduated with a master’s degree in Social Work, and continued to complete a post-masters education in the doctoral program from New York University.
