Hi, my name is Amy Rynn. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR). I live in Chicago, IL and have been working in Community Mental Health for over three years. I specialize in helping individuals overcome obstacles such as depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, substance use disorders, and mood disorders.
My goals as a therapist are to help you work towards identifying the things in your life that are not serving you and replace them with new thought patterns and coping skills so you can live your best life. Therapy is a space for you to identify and work towards your personal goals with the help and support of a professional. I approach therapy with a Person-Centered, Strengths-Based lens which allows me to meet you where you are in your mental health journey and help you build coping skills based on your identified strengths. I value the power of building trust in the therapeutic relationship in order to foster growth in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space.
If you are interested in Art Therapy, we can explore ways creativity and self expression can aid in your mental health journey. With art-making prompts, creative journaling, and creative self-care, you can work towards gaining more self awareness, help visualize complex emotions, use creative problem solving to overcome difficulties, and build self-esteem.
Taking the step to seek help is the bravest and biggest step to take in this process. I’ll be here for your journey and look forward to working with you.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

Amy has helped me so much in the two months that I’ve been talking to her. We’ve figured out many coping strategies for stress. She also helped me through a really difficult time as well.
