About Amy Grace, LPC
Therapist for Moms
Bring joy back into your life and motherhood.
I’m a Littleton-based therapist who specializes in helping adult women and mothers overcome the overwhelm in their lives to find peace, confidence and joy.
please Hear me when I say:
Being here doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong.
I can’t tell you how many women I have sat with who confessed that they feel like they are a bad mom. But I have a secret for you- bad moms don’t go to therapy. Heck, bad moms won’t even be reading this because they aren’t the ones that are looking for support to heal themselves so they can live a better life and make a difference for generations to come- good moms are! Strong moms are!
You once dreamed of what motherhood could look and feel like- with warm fuzzy feelings and hopes of making sweet memories with your kids. You remember a time when overwhelm, irritability and exhaustion weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place!
I’m Amy Grace, and I help women and mothers just like you: ones that have it within them to create a life and motherhood they truly love, but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find confidence, peace and strength to face the many demands of their lives by equipping them with the tools they need to heal past wounds, better understand themselves and others, and harness their own unique strengths.
Many of today’s solutions for supporting women in their many roles are simply missing the mark. They may be drawn out (what woman has time for that?), or suggest great coping skills that overwhelm an already super-busy woman, leading so many to feel like they aren’t making enough real progress to justify the time and commitment their own therapy and self care requires. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I tailor my approach to your unique situation every step of the way and always with an end goal in mind.
You’re ready to dig deep and get results.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that when we heal our wounds and function out of our strengths, we thrive as individuals, as mothers, and whatever other roles we are in.
First, we take time to get to know you! You are the star of this show. I want to know what makes you tick, the quirks of your personality, your passions, your strengths and your struggles! As we do so, we take a deep dive into understanding the challenges, situations and history that are causing overwhelm, irritability and discontentment in your life and family.
Then, we identify the customized treatment approach that will be most effective for you- this may include EMDR, Brainspotting, Nature Based Therapy, Traditional Talk Therapy, or Intensives. Through our work together, you’ll walk away confident that you can handle, and even thrive in, the toughest (and most amazing) job on earth- motherhood!
I am dedicated to helping women find their inner supermom.
My life and career has been about motherhood.
My training and experience in maternal mental health means I have the expertise you need and deserve when sharing your struggles and healing your stuff. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a woman and mother struggling with feeling overwhelmed, disillusioned and “not-good-enough”, right?
I get it because I have been a mom for over 25 years and have worked with women and mothers in my career for 20 of those! In those 25 years, I have been a young single mom, an average-aged married mom, a divorced and co-parenting mom, a step-mom to adult kids and even a bonus grandma! I know that sometimes you just wish you could get a vacation from your life, even though you also love your people dearly and would give up anything for them (and have!) So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
You are more than “just a mom.”
As a therapist, business owner, author, speaker, podcast host, online course creator and more I get that there are many roles you play in this world, in addition to wrangling miniature humans. Outside of “work stuff” and “mom stuff,” I love to snowboard, sing, dance, travel, stick my toes in sand and find peace by water. I love helping women to (re)discover all the things that light them up. It can be too easy to ignore all the other parts of you, but together we will focus on all the things you do and all the parts of you. If you have been neglecting your passions, your interests, your self-care, now is the time to reclaim your whole self.

Therapy with me is…
-
Therapy isn't one-size-fits all. Together we create what works for you. We take into account your unique personality, passions, priorities and goals and choose a path to healing that fits you.
-
You don't want someone who will be fake or even an old-school, blank-faced, non-reactive therapist. And you won't get one with me. I have been told that my honest reactions, and bringing my whole self to a session, is part of what my clients love about working with me. When we work together, we both get to be fully honest and authentic.
-
Sometimes the answers are outside of the box! Together we create your journey to wellness. We choose among methods and settings. We find creative solutions. And I have been known to use some creative metaphors to make life make sense.
-
I see you. I hear you. I get you. There is power in knowing you aren't actually crazy, but are just a person struggling with some hard junk and needing support.
