Ami Cooper (they/them/theirs)
Associate Clinical Social Worker
Your pain has been building for a long time and you feel stuck. You have lived with depression or anxiety for years, carried heavy shame, or endured pain that fills you with dread and makes it hard to imagine things could be different. Sometimes these struggles create the belief that you don’t deserve a good life.
You may have been called highly sensitive as a deeply caring person who has also felt like you don’t quite belong. Therapy offers a place to untangle these patterns, reconnect with yourself, and begin moving toward a life that feels more grounded and meaningful.
As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I am committed to creating an inclusive, supportive space where you can explore your story, reconnect with yourself, and develop skills that support your healing and growth.
My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that growth happens through connection and belonging. I integrate trauma-informed approaches including IFS (parts work), attachment-focused EMDR, somatic-oriented therapy, and nature therapy. These methods allow us to work gently yet deeply, honoring both the roots of pain and the body’s natural capacity for healing.
Ami Cooper’s vocation in the mental health field began over twenty years ago, supporting families in a community prenatal clinic after earning their Bachelor’s in Social Work in 1999. In 2021, they completed their Master of Social Work degree with a focus on trauma and addiction—areas that continue to shape and inspire their practice today. Ami has formal training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic approaches, and nature therapy.
