Hello! My name is Amy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor currently licensed in the state of Louisiana. Including my Practicum and Internship while achieving my master’s degree, I have been practicing in the mental health field for the past 6 years in Intensive Outpatient (IOP-hospital setting), In-home, and outpatient settings as well as through teletherapy (online therapy).
I chose to enter the mental health field as a career because I have been surrounded by mental illness my entire life from family as well as friends. I want to be a part of their solutions and not a contributor to their issues.
I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Criminal Justice from Louisiana State University in Shreveport in 2013. I achieved my Master of Arts Degree in Guidance and Counseling with a Concentration in Clinical Mental Health as well completed additional course work to acquire a Graduate Certificate in Dynamics of Family and Domestic Violence from Louisiana Tech University in 2016. I also recently became a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #6678) registered with the Louisiana Board of Examiners. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC # 718670) registered with the National Board for Certified Counselors.
I commend you for taking the first step towards making changes in your life. I believe that change is one of the hardest, but eventually most rewarding experiences a person can have in their life. However, for change to happen, I believe we must be willing to step out of the comfort zones we create for ourselves and learn new skills that we can move forward in life with. .
I approach counseling as though each client is “unique” and not a product of their diagnosis.
My objective in therapy is to provide a Holistic approach incorporating Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and empowering principles in order to integrate therapeutic measures to focus on the whole system: mind, body and spirit. I have practiced these mental health therapies successfully with children, adolescents and adults by empowering them to decrease their anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms, increasing frustration tolerance and eliminating harmful substance abuse, among other presenting mental health issues.
Should you choose to work with me, I look forward to walking with you on your therapeutic journey to reach your desired destination to a healthier you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Krohn. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was extremely nervous to start this journey and finding a therapist but when I was matched up with Amy she calmed all my nerves and has been there whenever I needed her (all hours of the day & night). She's extremely patient, open & blunt (cuz that's what I need). So this journey I once thought I was going to be doing by myself I now know we are in this together. And I'm glad I came to betterhelp and we found each other! Amy is amazing in what she does!

Amy is really supportive, understanding, and relates well to me as a client. I really appreciate her help. She’s also super flexible which is even more appreciated as someone with mental health struggles - which makes day to day tasks and routines challenging. Looking forward to working with Amy further in the future!

Amy has been such a wonderful counselor. She listens to what you’re saying and applies her expertise in such an authentic way. She will hold you accountable and she will be honest with you. She helped me realize a lot, which allowed me to work through my issues and become a better person because of it. I am definitely leaving here better than when I came in and I highly recommend her services. 10/10.
