Amy Diamond

Nurse Practitioner providing integrative psychiatric care to children 6+, adolescents, and adults through a supportive and evidence-based approach

How does person-centered therapy work and how can it help?
Person-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients lead the conversation and explore their thoughts and feelings. The therapist provides empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine support, helping clients achieve self-discovery, emotional healing, and personal growth. This approach empowers clients to make their own choices, leading to improved self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being.
My practice philosophy centers on a deep respect for my patients’ autonomy, dignity, and trust in me to honor the sanctity of their stories. With over seventeen years of both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric nursing experience, my approach to struggles with anxiety, depression, and other common and less common mental health problems is driven by humility and dedication to my patients’ goals and preferred cultural sources of belonging and support. Compelled by lived experience, I specialize in psychiatric concerns related to neurodevelopment and neurodivergence, tailoring treatment according to ethical, evidence-based research and guidelines. Along with a balanced strengths-based approach to disability, my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion similarly translates into sensitivity and diligence with regard to psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic choices. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry •Psychiatry •Child Psychiatry •Behavioral Medicine *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Autism •Sleep problems •ADHD •Insomnia •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •Mood disorders •OCD •Trauma and PTSD *Treatment philosophy My treatment philosophy prioritizes non-judgmental, compassionate, creative, and scientifically rigorous care. I believe that good health is inseparable from peace of mind and that my role as a psychiatric provider is to help you restore and maintain that peace through medication and brief psychotherapy according to symptom severity and type when lifestyle and other therapeutic measures alone aren’t sufficient. I strongly believe that well-being depends on feeling safe, appreciated, and inspired. *Treatment approach •Culturally Sensitive •Humanistic •Person-Focused
