Amy Buchanan, LPC, CPCS Licensed Professional Counselor

Amy believes healing happens in relationship. She offers adults and couples a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to explore experiences that may be affecting their sense of self, relationships, and ability to feel fully present in their lives.

Amy works with clients navigating trauma and its ongoing effects, grief and loss-including suicide loss, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She has a particular interest in working with adult adoptees and in supporting helping professionals experiencing vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, or the emotional demands of their work.

Her approach is trauma-informed, relational, and collaborative. She draws from EMDR, attachment-informed care, mindfulness, and ACT-informed practices, tailoring counseling to each client's needs and goals. Amy believes clients are the experts on their own experiences and that meaningful change emerges through a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

When meaningful to the client, Amy welcomes spirituality and faith as part of the healing process. Her goal is to create a space where each person feels genuinely seen, heard, and respected as they approach difficult experiences with curiosity and compassion and work toward greater freedom, connection, and wholeness.

Amy is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and is certified in EMDR therapy and telemental health.
