Psychotherapy~

Psychotherapy can help you deal with emotional problems and disturbances, come to terms with your experiences, and understand your potentials. Our thoughts have power. We become what we think about. We have the power to move ourselves out of negative, self-destructive thinking.

As a psychotherapist, I can help you adjust to changing circumstances and the transition from one stage of life to the next. I can also help you set goals, overcome barriers, access resources and plan a fulfilling productive life.

The goal of therapy is for you to be able to handle life’s challenges positively and confidently without my intervention. Since self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that take time to achieve, I am committed to giving effective, cost-efficient counseling that will help my patients resolve their problems.

Hypnotherapy~

Hypnotherapy has brought about positive changes in the lives of millions of people. Ms. Amos believes that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives.

Hypnotherapy is an effective and speedy means of working with the mind. It makes use of the natural techniques of hypnosis to gain swift access to deeply rooted anxieties and problems. Hypnosis is completely safe and will not work without the consent and total cooperation of the person being hypnotized.

Hypnotherapy is a process of communication between the patient and the therapist. Hypnosis constitutes the core of the treatment. Hypnosis is defined as a state of focus – a focus of ideas and suggestions.

The only way to change a behavior is to first be aware of it. Once an idea is accepted by the subconscious mind, it stays there until another one replaces it. Hypnosis uses positive suggestions to put another thought in its place – permanently.

Hypnosis may be used to quit smoking, lose weight, eliminate fears, phobias, and depression, or address issues of self esteem.

Art Therapy~

The creative modalities are now being recognized as important instruments for therapeutic communication. Through these modalities, people can experiment with new ideas, express feelings, experience fantasies, and resolve fears.

Art Therapy offers an opportunity to explore personal problems and potentials through verbal and nonverbal expression. Therapy through art recognizes art processes, forms, content, and associations as reflections of an individual’s development, abilities, personality, interests, and concerns.

The use of art as therapy implies that the creative process can be a means both of reconciling emotional conflicts and of fostering self-awareness and personal growth. The subconscious mind directs the healing process through the drawing’s focal points. That is, what our attention focuses on in a drawing.

It is through such drawing that the therapist can utilize the use of symbols as a healing agent. If drawings are direct communications from the subconscious mind then they cannot be as easily camouflaged as can verbal communications.
