Amy Tierney is a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sexual Assault Victim Counselor.  She 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.
