Amy Kempe, MS, LPC, NCC
I believe we’re wired for connection—and that healing often happens through relationships. One of the most powerful relationships can be the one built in the therapy room. When we feel truly seen, heard, and supported, it creates a foundation for meaningful change and deeper healing.
I’m someone who’s genuinely curious about people. I love getting to know what motivates each person, what brings them meaning, and how they see the world. That curiosity shapes how I show up as a therapist—asking thoughtful questions, listening deeply, and walking alongside you as we explore your inner world together. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process. I’m here to support you in reconnecting with your own wisdom, building resilience, and living more authentically.
The people I work with are often thoughtful, driven, and insightful—high achievers, business owners, or professionals who may also be navigating anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, or identifying as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Many come from families where emotional immaturity or narcissistic traits made it hard to feel safe or understood growing up. My hope in getting to know someone is to see the whole person—not just the roles you play or the challenges you carry, but your hopes, your humor, and your strengths.
I also understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially in a world that doesn’t always make space for self-acceptance. That’s why I focus on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome—and where change can unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
My path into this work began in community mental health, supporting people with substance use challenges. I quickly saw how often those struggles were linked to deeper pain—trauma, unmet neurodiversity needs, or patterns like sex addiction or disordered eating. That realization led me to seek advanced training in trauma, sex addiction, partner support, and narcissistic abuse.
What I’ve learned along the way is that often the things that bring people to therapy are often doorways into something deeper. It is an honor to be invited to walk through those doorways with my clients—to witness their courage, their growth, and their return to themselves.
