About me

Hi-- my name is Amy Kilgore and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor. I have 13 years of professional work experience and a lifetime of personal experience. I have received much healing grace in my life and am passionate about serving others on their journey. At the foundation of my work is my belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ which informs my worldview and sense of peace, hope, love and security. I have a broad range of experience treating various mental health disorders in all age ranges. I am currently trained/certified in two forms of trauma treatment (EMDR, TF-CBT) as I believe most clinical disorders are manifestations of unresolved grief and fear issues. I have the most experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relational issues, eating disorders, personality disorders & coping with grief and loss. I believe that you are the expert of your story and acknowledge that reaching out for help is most difficult and courageous. I'm here to support you in your process -- please let me know If you think we're a good match! :)

I’ve never been to therapy before but Amy makes it so easy to talk and help solve the issues that exist, I am very confident in her and would recommend her and BetterHelp to anyone who needs it!

Amy is a great listener. She gives me relevant exercises to do on my own that help process what I’m going through.

Amy is extremely nice l, caring, validating, and interested in clarity. Not only does she want to be clear with what I am saying to her, but she is helpful to make sure I am clear with myself.
