Hi, I’m Amy Spear
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Welcome to a Compassionate Space for Your Healing Journey
I know how overwhelming it can feel when life’s challenges stack up, Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, a past trauma you can’t seem to shake, or simply wondering what’s next. You don’t have to face it alone. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space, both in West Ashley (Charleston, SC) and online, where we’ll partner together to find clarity, build resilience, and move toward the life you want.
A Little About My Training
I earned my M.S. in Applied Clinical Psychology from the University of South Carolina Aiken and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #6570) in South Carolina back in 2010. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked in outpatient clinics, inpatient settings, and led and created a grief-support program for Title I schools. The whole time I've always had the same goal: to help people feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered.
Therapy Tailored Specifically For You
I believe every person’s story is unique, so I draw from a range of proven approaches:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought patterns
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) to help you process difficult experiences and reduce the emotional and physical distress that may still be connected to them
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore the different parts of yourself with compassion, helping you understand what’s underneath patterns, emotions, and protective responses
-
Motivational Interviewing to build awareness and spark your own motivation
-
Mindfulness to develop greater awareness of your yourself to create more space to respond intentionally rather than automatically
-
Somatic-Focused approaches to use body awareness to support greater self regulation and connection
-
Strength-Focused approaches to identify, build, and amplify your strengths
Together, we’ll co-create a plan that fits your personality, goals, and daily life so you leave each session with real strategies you can use immediately.
My Practice & Focus
I primarily work with young and mid-life adults, offering individual counseling either in-person or via secure telehealth support for:
-
Anxiety & Stress Management
-
Depression & Low Mood
-
Trauma & PTSD Recovery

Whether you’re curious about therapy or you’ve tried it before and need a better fit, I’ll guide you every step of
the way.
All are welcome.
Payment & Insurance
Currently, I do not accept any insurance, but I offer a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for session reimbursement.
We are not in-network with any insurance companies.
However, we can help clients request possible reimbursement from their insurance companies, by providing the required paperwork.
Questions? Check with your insurance provider to inquire about out-of-network benefits and if you are eligible for reimbursement.
Out-Of-Network Therapy Opens Doors For Out-Of-Box Treatment.
Because we are out of network with insurance companies, we are able to offer a truly tailored approach to therapy based on your unique needs. There is more space for creative personalized care and access to a niche skill set.
Individual Therapy sessions typically cost $200
Group Therapy and Guided Support sessions' cost will be determined based on the number of participants in each group and will be disclosed prior to the first session.
