Amy C. Greene, LCSW-C, MPH

Relationships are our foundation. They can inform how we understand ourselves and others, and they don't have to lock us into a fixed story.

 

In my early career, I worked in national public health, contributing to interventions around adolescent well-being at a policy level. That work was big-picture and high-impact and it showed me something that grounds my therapy practice today: no matter the setting, title, or level of influence, everything comes down to our relationships. How we show up in them. Whether we feel safe. Whether we’re hiding, performing, or able to be fully seen. At one point or another, we all can use a little help.

​

In my work, I have seen that healing takes root when there is safety, connection, and authenticity—qualities that emerge within a strong therapeutic relationship. Becoming a therapist was not a direct response to my past, but in hindsight, I was searching for answers long before I had the language to articulate them. Growing up in a single-parent and later blended family, navigating early loss, and learning to build resilience through those experiences shaped a strong commitment to creating environments that support safety, reflection, and growth, grounded in both lived experience and clinical training.

​

I specialize in trauma treatment, whether it stems from early adversity, chronic stress, or the cumulative impact of feeling misunderstood. I also support neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, with or without a trauma history. In many cases, I support clients navigating both! This includes individuals with a late diagnosis, where years of masking and misattunement have taken a toll. My passion for this work comes from both personal experience and ongoing learning. Many of the clients I work with—autistic and ADHD alike—have spent much of their lives trying to “pass” in a neurotypical world, often at great emotional cost.

​

My commitment to this work is sustained by curiosity and connection. I read widely, ask questions, reflect, adapt, and keep learning. If you've internalized feedback that you are too much, too sensitive, too scattered or not enough, therapy offers a chance to question these messages, rewrite your story, and build something new: a clearer sense of self, a stronger foundation, and a path forward.

​

Outside the office, you’ll find me with my family and my twelve-year-old dog, out on a run, or absorbed in a hands-on project like sewing, jewelry-making, or propagating plants. These creative outlets keep me grounded, mindful, and present—just as I aim to help my clients be.
