My name is Amy Read and I am an Adult & Geriatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. I have specialized my interests in health & wellness after years of struggling with my own symptoms ... symptoms of pain, brain fog, IBS, difficulty with focus, no ability to concentration, a very forgetful memory, and so many more. Luckily, I was cleared of anything life threating. Because of my personal challenges, I found functional medicine. I found a way to "cure" myself and reclaim my life. It was hard. It took a lot of time. It took work. It took family support. Now I am able to live again and I have many roles and titles, the best of which is being a mother to 6 beautiful children. I love the sun and the beach, if I have a day off that's where you'll find me! The water is mesmerizing and the sun enlightens my soul! I am now a functional medicine practitioner nurse practitioner and bring over 25 years of experience into my practice. Functional medicine has saved my life and become my passion for helping others. My own triumphs and trials with depression, anxiety, ADHD, food sensitivities and fibromyalgia allow me to have a deep understanding of what my clients are going through and what they need to have in order to achieve the life of their dreams. Through my programs, clients who are committed and ready for change, are able to obtain optimal health and wellness.​

Reaching out for support demonstrates courage. My practice provides a sanctuary where you can safely set aside your defenses. I honor the bravery required to explore vulnerable aspects of yourself and create an environment where challenging realities can be confronted and genuine healing can happen. I deliver targeted, results-oriented therapy addressing trauma & PTSD, anxiety, substance use disorders, and the effects of childhood emotional neglect. My therapeutic approach uses practical strategies with profound emotional healing through specialized Brainspotting therapy. The foundation of my practice rests on a fundamental truth: your completeness already exists within you. This inherent wholeness has simply been clouded by defense mechanisms, adaptation strategies, and anxieties that no longer benefit your. By addressing these layers together, we clear the path for your authentic self to emerge and flourish.

You’re overwhelmed by being everything to everyone. While everyone else sleeps, your mind races with worst case scenarios as you dissect a minor experience from earlier in the day. It’s hard making decisions about even the simplest things. Life just isn’t as much fun as you want. You’ve tried talking to your friends about this stuff, but it never seems to help or change anything. Stacks of self help books go unread on your nightstand and following lifestyle influencers makes your self esteem plummet. Life is hard and it doesn’t come with an instruction manual.
