Amy Grubbs LPC

I began my own private practice to be able to work with people in the way we feel is most beneficial. I believe the counseling process to be one that is guided by you.

I am not much different than you. I get the place you are coming from to seek out help. My life has been fabulously full and messy. As a child, my parents divorced when I was in elementary school. I felt the emotional tug of war as a child. During a 19 year marriage, I became the mom of three wonderful boys. I quickly learned that everything I thought about parenting was garbage. I struggled with feelings of inadequacies as a parent when navigating concerns such as parenting an ADHD child, parenting a strong-willed child, learning to communicate with an introvert, supporting a child who is bullied, supporting a child through divorce, and learning to be a new kind of parent to adult children. I survived a marriage that crumbled and a divorce. I learned to navigated a divorce relationship that spun into a high-conflict relationship. I have remarried and learned how to blend children into a new family system. I am no different than you. My life has been messy. I have learned to not allow my past messy life to be a stumbling block in my view of myself or my current relationships. On the contrary, they serve as a reminder of how easily relationships can become fractured and distant.
