About
Amy Klein has provided individual, group, and family therapy since earning her Master of Social Work in 2007, and she has been active in the field of social work since leaving high school. Her clinical practice draws on a wide array of personal and professional experiences that taught her to hold emotional space and cultivate safety and unconditional positive regard for those she works with.
Her early career began as a VISTA volunteer at a YWCA on the Detroit border. After completing a Bachelor of Social Work at Wayne State University, she joined a program offering in-home family therapy and case management for parents involved with Child Protective Services. She then served in the Peace Corps as a youth-at-risk volunteer in Kingston, Jamaica before returning to the United States to complete a Master of Social Work at Western Michigan University.
Since completing graduate school, Amy has practiced in a variety of settings including work with a Native tribe, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and within a medical clinic. She also teaches yoga, is a reiki master, and practices Native Tradition. She identifies as an empath, and that awareness informs her therapeutic approach.
Amy blends scientific facts and ancient wisdom with storytelling, and she integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, yoga, philosophy, art, music, and humor to help clients reconnect with what she calls their inner compass. She lives in a cottage in the woods near Lake Michigan, spends as much time in nature as possible, and brings a deep commitment to helping others toward well-being. Mental health therapy has long been her passion, shaped in part by growing up in a family impacted by mental illness, addiction, narcissism, and abuse and by an early wish to find happiness and help others find the same.
She is licensed to practice social work in Michigan and is licensed as an independent clinical social worker in Washington state, and she brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, families, and groups.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - individuals can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video sessions, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to attend sessions without rearranging work, family, or travel commitments.
Licensed professionals offer therapy remotely, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, the combination of clinical training and flexible delivery makes online therapy a practical and effective option for addressing everyday mental health concerns.
