Dr. Amy Hatcher, LMFT

She draws on 12 years of experience and her background as a retired firefighter/EMT and military veteran to provide calm, steady support. Amy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in California and working with adults on relationship and family concerns.

She helps people address trauma and abuse using methods like EMDR alongside talking therapies. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing stress and anxiety, and handling grief or major life changes.

Amy also supports those facing addiction, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness. Her style is direct and collaborative.

She aims to build a clear plan with each person, starting from where they are and moving toward concrete goals. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches are used alongside deeper work on attachment and past patterns.

Amy’s background includes years in first responder and veteran counseling settings and work in community mental health and residential programs. That experience informs her approach to crises, difficult transitions, and relationship repair.

She pays attention to how family of origin and blended family dynamics affect current life. People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation, targeted coping skills, and ongoing review of progress.

She uses a mix of therapy styles to fit each person’s needs and preferences. Dr.
