Amy Torn

Amy Torn is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. She has extensive training and practice in cognitive-behavioral therapy and brings a strong interest in mindfulness, self-compassion, and holistic approaches to foster greater well-being.

She also incorporates elements of Internal Family Systems and Motivation Interviewing into her work. In counseling she invites people to develop greater self-acceptance, release limiting and distressing beliefs, and discover meaning and opportunity within difficult experiences. She holds a hopeful stance that freedom from suffering is possible.

Amy offers a compassionate, research-based, and collaborative approach, and she shares Eastern and Western spiritual perspectives for those who are interested. She listens closely and asks questions that promote self-exploration.

She has a particular passion and specialty in working with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety and with people who want to be more loving and accepting of themselves. She is also interested in supporting individuals living with chronic illnesses or other physical challenges, as well as their loved ones.

Beyond clinical practice, Amy works as an astrologer and as a Reiki practitioner. She provides dream interpretation sessions using a research-based model developed at the University of Maryland.

In her free time she cares for several animal friends, studies German New Medicine and Spanish, hikes, and bakes. She lived in Southern California for two decades and now resides in Pennsylvania. She welcomes connections and looks forward to meeting new clients.
