Amy McGinnis Hogan, LCSW
About me
I believe that growth and change are possible. I believe we have the ability to enrich our human experience. I am committed to helping you understand your personal story in a caring and safe therapeutic environment. Together we will examine your inner world in a non-judgmental space that we create together.
I use a psychodynamic approach to increase insight, while drawing from solution-based approaches that provide tangible coping skills for managing day to day life. This process of self-examination and increased self-understanding will help identify and overcome the roadblocks standing in the way of reaching your full potential.
If you are struggling right now, I encourage you to reach out. I would love the opportunity to collaborate with you on your journey of greater self-discovery, growth and healing.

Amy is super nice and makes our sessions very comfortable. She is very understanding, supportive, and of course, is a great listener. I have only had a couple sessions, but I feel like they help as much as I need them to.

Amy is the first therapist I’ve talked to and it was the best decision of my life to reach out for help. She is very understanding and I never feel judged talking to her. She’s already changed my life in such a short amount of time!
