Amy Wohl, LMSW CPT

Amazing to talk to. Very easy going and REAL. Can’t thank her enough for all of her help!

I’ve been going to see Amy Wohl for almost a year, and she’s been very helpful and encouraging in our sessions. First and foremost, Amy can’t «fix» you. In fact, only you can fix you. But Amy can help you see that, and she can then give you guidance and the tools to fix, adjust to or change whatever it is you’re going through.
Amy is honest and sometimes plainspoken, but she’s also compassionate. She won’t sugar coat things for you, but she won’t brow beat you either. From personal experience, I know that some talk therapists can fall into the trap of saying your problems are everyone’s fault but your own or that they’re all completely your fault, neither of which is truly helpful.
One of my favorite things about working with Amy is that she is more of a motivator or coach than anything else. She’s very much aware that your physical well-​being is directly connected to your mental and emotional well-​being, and she’s always suggesting physical things – like running, biking, swimming, or even a leisurely walk – that will ultimately help your mental and emotional state. And she’s always in favor of making a solid plan. «What do you want to change? What do you want to achieve? What does that look like in your life? Then how do you get to that point?» These are some of the questions Amy will ask of you, and if you’re willing to do the work, she’ll help guide you through the steps necessary to answer them.
Another thing I like about Amy is that she doesn’t suggest prescription medication as a knee-​jerk reaction for treatment. Prescription medication can be and often is a necessary aspect of therapy for many, many people, and Amy has said that herself, but she also prefers to seek out a non-​prescription route for treatment first.
I have and will continue to suggest to anyone looking for a good talk therapist to reach out to Amy Wohl and tell her a bit about yourself.
