I’m Amy Giller, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Cromwell, Connecticut.

My professional life has been shaped by a longstanding interest in the relationship between mental health, the body, relationships, and the ways people learn to navigate their experiences.

My clinical background has included work with trauma, sexual abuse survivors, young adults, addiction, relationships, communication, identity, and empowerment. My approach has also been influenced by holistic and embodied practices, including yoga, meditation, somatic awareness, and other ways of understanding the relationship between our physical, mental, and emotional lives.

Over the years, I began to recognize another place where my experience could be useful.

Wellness spaces.

I have spent years both professionally and personally within communities devoted to growth, embodiment, yoga, wellness, and personal exploration. I understand the tremendous value these spaces can offer.

I also understand the difference between wellness facilitation and clinical mental health care.

Rather than asking one field to become the other, I became interested in what happens when they are allowed to work alongside each other.

That curiosity has grown into workshops, community education, and collaborations with practitioners who want mental health expertise integrated into the experiences they are already creating.

Hi, I’m Amy

MY APPROACH

I believe people deserve information about their minds and emotional lives that feels understandable and useful.

Clinical knowledge does not have to remain hidden behind professional language.

And meaningful exploration does not always require sitting across from someone in a therapy office.

There are things we can learn together.

There are things we may choose to explore privately.

And there are experiences that deserve the individualized support of therapy.

Part of responsible mental health work is understanding the difference.

My intention is to create spaces with enough structure for people to feel supported and enough freedom for each person to retain agency over their own experience.

YOU WILL HEAR ME INVITE RATHER THAN DEMAND.

YOU WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO NOTICE RATHER THAN PERFORM.

AND YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PERMISSION TO DECIDE HOW DEEPLY YOU PARTICIPATE.
