Amy Degirolamo, LPC. I am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. For the last 15 years my work with clients has focused on personal issues of all kinds: depression, self-esteem, conflict resolution, better communication, adult children of alcoholics, parenting, anxiety, chronic illness, addictions, and sexual abuse. I specialize in adjustment issues and assisting clients take steps to get back to a place where they can overcome issues and move on for a better, healthier life. Many of my clients are going through a life transition such as a seperation, divorce or dealing with "failure to launch" issues.

There are those times in our lives when our discomfort with ourselves or others, just becomes too uncomfortable and you need to take an action that would solve the problem once and for all. Psychotherapy is that action. Confiding in someone who is respectful and competent, in that they can clarify your issues, right from the first session, can make your stress, no matter how high the stress, seem solvable. I am that therapist. Once clarity is reached, understanding and solving problems follow. Individual, couple or full family issues are addressed.

My therapy style is interactive and experiential, balanced with compassion, inspiration, and humor. Using a strengths-based holistic approach, I'll help you develop practical and realistic skills to manage and resolve problems that keep you from fully participating in life.

TELEHEALTH AVAIL: I am very interested in quickly discovering a person's needs and preferences. My style combines compassionate listening with active and direct problem-solving. I also tend to be humorous, which facilitates a more comfortable therapeutic relationship. I find that humor helps my clients to feel more at ease when they are discussing very difficult topics. I have a broad range of experience, particularly with trauma and anxiety disorders. However, I greatly enjoy working with all kinds of individuals and couples. Additionally, I am an adjunct faculty member in a local graduate program, and I have a private practice.

Someone made a mistake at work that you had to stay late to fix – no problem. Your spouse forgot to pick up the cake you reminded him about five times – all good. The kids knocked over and broke an heirloom vase – don’t worry about it. You are so understanding and forgiving with everyone in your life. But, if you make the tiniest error, you can’t let yourself live it down. You’re unsure why it’s so impossible for you to accept anything less than perfection. You suspect it may have to do with unresolved pain from your past. But you can’t let anyone know you’re suffering, so you pretend everything is fine and hope no one notices.

I wholeheartedly believe and trust that each person is uniquely resilient and has the capacity to heal from trauma. As a therapist, my passion lies in helping people regain safety and security in their mind and body after experiencing trauma. In treatment, I will support you in rebuilding authentic relationships to yourself, others, and the world around you. Much of my experience entails working with physical and sexual trauma, grief, racial trauma, and relationship challenges. In my practice, I primarily work with female-identifying people of color.

Clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress due to relationship,family and work issues, as well as those suffering from loss and grief find that my long professional experience and warm, empathic style helps them access their own inner strengths.
