About

Amelia "Amie" Shipley, LMHC, brings 13 years of clinical practice in Washington to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her practice also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, gender dysphoria, and women's issues. She frames therapy as an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and healing rather than only a response to crisis.

Her approach is experiential and body focused, integrating the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM), Inner Bonding, Emotion Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. She frequently incorporates somatic techniques alongside creative expression including visual art, writing, mindful movement, and improvisational practices to open new ways of sensing and processing difficult material.

Amie emphasizes warmth, collaboration, and direct communication. She views each person as the expert on their own experience and offers practical tools alongside explorations of emotion and bodily experience. Prospective clients in Washington and beyond who are curious about an integrative, creativity-informed path are invited to inquire about an initial consultation.

Online and remote therapy options

Amelia Shipley offers online sessions designed to bring her experiential, body oriented work into a digital setting. She adapts somatic practices and creative exercises to video and phone formats, and integrates written or visual prompts into text-based exchanges when helpful. Sessions can include movement suggestions, drawing or journaling prompts, and guided awareness of sensation that translate to remote work.

She also uses EMDR-informed methods in an online context, attending to pacing, grounding, and embodied response while guiding bilateral stimulation and memory work through video or phone. Emotion focused and relational approaches are woven into conversations to track felt experience and relational patterns, helping clients notice recurring interaction styles and emotional responses.

Amelia emphasizes collaborative planning so that each remote pathway fits the client’s comfort and goals. Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people engage with therapeutic material and ongoing support.
