Welcome
Hi, I’m Amy Kersten. I am glad you are here and I look forward to connecting with you.
Life can be challenging. You might feel overwhelmed, frozen, or stuck in your thoughts—lying in bed at night replaying your to-do list, worrying about everything you should be doing.
Maybe you feel like you're failing at work, not being the kind of parent you want to be, or constantly criticizing yourself for not being "good enough."
Do you feel like you have to be perfect? Are you always trying to keep the peace, worried about others being upset, or saying yes when you really want to say no?
It’s easy to fall into patterns of people-pleasing, overthinking, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. But over time, it takes a toll—leaving you feeling disconnected, exhausted, and unsure of what you really need.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
“I hope you realize that every day is a fresh start for you. That every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written.” - Juansen Dizon, Confessions of a Wallflower
Let’s find a way forward—together.
Imagine being able to quiet that inner critic. To set boundaries without guilt. To stop second-guessing yourself and finally feel more grounded in who you are.
Therapy can help you understand what's going on beneath the surface, and support you in building a more balanced, meaningful life. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore what’s keeping you stuck—and how to move forward with greater self-compassion and clarity.
Therapy is a space where we can explore what’s getting in your way and discover what helps you feel more present, empowered, and aligned with your values.
Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the pressure to always “hold it together.” These tools help you shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop mindfulness skills, and take steps aligned with your values—so you can live with more intention and ease.
Whether you're managing anxiety, processing trauma, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, we’ll work together to create a path that fits your life.

Let’s talk about how therapy can support you. I’d love to help you find more clarity, confidence, and peace in your daily life.
Finding joy and engaging in meaningful activities are fundamental to a fulfilling life. It's about connecting with what truly resonates with you and brings a sense of purpose and happiness.
What to Expect
Starting therapy is a big step—and it’s okay to have questions. Here’s what you can expect when you work with me:
💬 Complimentary 15-Minute Consultation
Let’s start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. This is a no-pressure space to ask questions, share what you're hoping for, and learn more about how I work.
🔒 Confidential Support
Your privacy matters. All sessions are conducted in a secure, HIPAA-compliant online platform, so you can feel confident that your personal information is protected.
🌟 A Personalized Approach
No two people are the same—and neither are their therapy journeys. We’ll work together to create a plan that feels right for you, using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, tailored to your goals and values.
🖥️ Convenient Access
Therapy should be flexible. With virtual sessions available across Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee, you can meet with me from the comfort of your home, during times that work for your schedule—including Saturday mornings.
