About
Amy Ferris, MA, LPCC
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
The Story Behind the Name
Kintsugi is a centuries-old Japanese art form in which broken pottery is repaired with gold lacquer — not to hide the damage, but to honor it. The philosophy holds that something broken and mended is not lesser for having been broken; it is stronger, more beautiful, and more interesting because of it.
This is the philosophy at the heart of my practice. I believe that the painful experiences, struggles, and fractures in our lives do not diminish us. When given the right support, those very places can become sources of resilience, wisdom, and profound beauty. Therapy is the gold that helps us mend.
About Amy
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Perrysburg, Ohio, with a Master of Arts in Counseling. My work is grounded in the belief that every person is a unique individual with their own history, obstacles, and circumstances — and that those past experiences shape who we become.
I have dedicated my career to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their struggles without judgment, gain insight and self-awareness, and build a strong foundation for a more balanced, healthy, and peaceful life. I favor empowering clients and helping them develop their own personal repertoire of healing and coping strategies.
I truly believe the client is the expert in his or her own life. My role is to guide the process — to walk alongside you as you set and reach your healing goals, not to prescribe a path for you.
Therapeutic Approach
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities to meet each client where they are. I work collaboratively with clients to understand not just their symptoms, but the whole person — the many parts that make up who they are. Together, we explore and develop those parts toward greater wholeness.
Brainspotting
A brain-body therapy that uses eye positions to access and process trauma stored in the subcortical brain, often reaching places talk therapy alone cannot.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
An innovative treatment pairing the therapeutic effects of ketamine with psychotherapy, offering new pathways for those with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
A body-centered approach (Level 1 trained) that integrates somatic awareness into the healing process, recognizing that trauma lives in the body as well as the mind.
Healing Heroes
Specialized training in engaging and treating first responders, honoring the unique psychological demands and culture of those who serve.
A Note to You
If you are reading this, you have already taken a courageous step. Reaching out for support — even just researching it — takes real strength. I want you to know that whatever has brought you here, you do not have to carry it alone.
My office is a place where you are welcome exactly as you are. There is no judgment here, only curiosity, compassion, and a genuine commitment to your healing. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.
