Welcome
Hi, I’m Amy Kersten! I’m so glad you’re here, and I’m looking 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 or 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 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.
What if you could quiet that inner critic? Set boundaries without feeling guilty? Stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling more grounded in who you are?
Therapy can help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface and support you in creating a life that feels more balanced and meaningful. In our work together, you’ll have a safe, supportive space to explore what’s keeping you stuck and how to move forward with more clarity and self-compassion.
We’ll look at what’s getting in the way and discover what helps you feel more present, more confident, and more aligned with the life you want to live.
I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people dealing with anxiety, trauma, major life changes, or just the exhausting pressure to keep it all together. These tools can help you shift unhelpful thought patterns, build mindfulness skills, and take steps that reflect your values, so you can feel more intentional and at ease in your life.
Whether you’re managing anxiety, healing from past experiences, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, we’ll work together to create a path that truly fits you.
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.
Ready to take the next step?
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.
What to Expect
Starting therapy is a big step and it’s normal 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.
🖥️ 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.
🔒 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.
