Amy Tierney is a Licensed Psychotherapist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma/PTSD, and life transitions.

 

Having worked in several Level 1 trauma centers throughout Southern California, Amy also specializes in working with physicians, nurses, and ancillary healthcare professionals experiencing compassion fatigue and vicarious traumatization.

​

While Amy’s approach to treatment is grounded in psychoanalytic theory, she draws from a wide variety of treatment modalities based on individual client needs.  Some of these modalities include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,  Somatic Therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions.

 

Amy believes the therapeutic relationship is the single most important aspect in a client’s recovery process.  She has a profound respect for, and commitment to, the development of a safe, nonjudgemental space where her clients find the freedom to heal.
