Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Merrillville, IN

Hello! I specialize in women’s mental health, focusing on hormone-related concerns such as PMDD, infertility, loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Combining my background as a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I offer a compassionate, holistic approach tailored to each woman's unique experience. I am dedicated to helping women navigate these significant life transitions and hormonal challenges with understanding, support, and effective strategies. If you're seeking expert guidance and empathetic care, I’m here to support you on your journey to wellness.

Empathetic, but will challenge one to become the best version of themselves. My years of experience afford me a good insight into various mental health disorders. I have a vast background in working with couples, families, and court ordered cases regarding divorce and coparenting. I have worked with diverse populations extensively. I utilize humor to help make the counseling environment warm, fun and engaging.

“I am passionate about helping individuals and families feel heard, supported, and understood. My 20 plus years of professional background includes working closely with children, adults, and families in both home and community-based settings, addressing concerns such as behavioral challenges, family conflict, trauma, and life stressors.

I have a special interest in supporting families, strengthening relationships, and helping clients navigate difficult transitions with confidence and clarity.”

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years, I have found that every person possesses the ability to change. I graduated with my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago where I specialized in working with older adults. I have since expanded my expertise to include all ages of adults who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or difficult life changes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience primarily working with families, teenagers, women's issues, medical and behavioral health focused as well as crisis support. I am also a dog lover, a concert goer and enjoy silly-goose humor. I'm here to offer guidance and support from my training and years of experience. I have many years of experience in medical settings (NICU, PICU, child and adult ER) as well as Behavioral Health (SMI and EAP). You are the expert of your life and I want to see you live it to the max.

Recognizing that something needs to change is often the hardest step.

Maybe you've noticed you're repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy—you just have to be willing to explore a different path.

I'm Amy, and I work with adults who are ready to create meaningful change in their lives. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, I provide a supportive, collaborative space where we can better understand what's keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I am originally from Chicago, and I bring both my lived experience and professional training into the work I do. I attended the University of Michigan Ann Arbor for undergraduate and graduate schools. I have a strong clinical background in mental health, working with individuals across a range of experiences and challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I look forward to working with you on your journey.
