What type of therapy does Amy Sharman provide?

​

        Amy Sharman is a private pay trauma and anxiety therapist in Scottsdale, Arizona. She provides evidence-based counseling for adults,

        including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based       

        approaches to help clients heal from trauma, reduce anxiety and depression, and work on being their best self.

​

Do you offer EMDR therapy?

        Yes. Amy Sharman offers EMDR therapy in Scottsdale for adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, Imposter Syndrome,

        perfectionism, critical self-talk, self-doubt, migraines, distressing past experiences and many more types of struggles and challenges.

​

Do you accept insurance?

 

​This is a private pay therapy practice. Amy Sharman does not contract directly with insurance companies. Private pay allows for greater confidentiality, no required mental health diagnosis, and more flexibility in treatment. A superbill can be provided for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Note that you can use your health savings account (HSA) for payment. ​​​​​

​

How do I know if trauma therapy is right for me?

         Trauma therapy may help if you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional reactivity, avoidance, or self-criticism that trace back to   

         past experiences. You do not need to have experienced a single major event — ongoing stress or relational wounds can also benefit

         from trauma-informed therapy.

​

​What should I expect?

​

The first session or two is for intake and treatment planning.  You’ll share your story, what brings you to counseling, your struggles, symptoms and goals for therapy. 

 

Amy will create a treatment plan, based on your goals, which will serve as a roadmap for therapy. 

 

Please call for a 15-minute consultation to learn more about what you can expect. 

 

How much are sessions? 

 

$145 for a 50-minute session. Sliding scale can be discussed.   

 

Cash, checks, health savings accounts (HSAs), Visa and Master Card are accepted. You can keep a credit card on file in the Client Portal.​
