Hi-- my name is Amy Kilgore and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor. I have 14 years of professional work experience and a lifetime of personal experience. I have received much healing grace in my life and am passionate about serving others on their journey. At the foundation of my work is my belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ which informs my worldview and sense of peace, hope, love and security. I have a broad range of experience treating various mental health disorders in all age ranges. I am currently trained/certified in two forms of trauma treatment (EMDR, TF-CBT) as I believe most clinical disorders are manifestations of unresolved grief and fear issues. I have the most experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relational issues, eating disorders, personality disorders & coping with grief and loss. I believe that you are the expert of your story and acknowledge that reaching out for help is most difficult and courageous. I'm here to support you in your process -- please let me know If you think we're a good match! :)

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amy is wonderful. Listens to me and reflects with truth. Highly recommended!
Amy has been very patient and kind. She always makes me feel comfortable and able to share anything on my heart. I have confidence in her professional expertise and I appreciate her focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ. I've had past therapy experiences, but none of them have even come close to being as helpful as Amy has- I am optimistic that this will continue as we work through the process. I am so thankful!
Very kind and took the time to listen.
Amy has been a blessing. I was really reluctant to start therapy. I had a hard time opening up and getting words out of my mouth. After a few months, I was able to express myself thanks to Amy’s help. I felt so heard and never judged. I told her things I’d never told anyone before for fear of judgement. She never once made me feel weird or judged. I can’t say enough good things about Amy!
Amy's positive energy radiates through the phone! She's very knowledgeable and challenges your negative thinking.
Mrs.Kilgore has been incredible. I didn’t originally believe therapy was for me, but I already feel so much better about myself.
She is a amazing person I appreciate her so much for always helping me and guiding me through this difficult times
Amy has been wonderful. Many insights and a caring ear. Highly recommended!
I’ve never been to therapy before but Amy makes it so easy to talk and help solve the issues that exist, I am very confident in her and would recommend her and BetterHelp to anyone who needs it!
Amy is a great listener. She gives me relevant exercises to do on my own that help process what I’m going through.
Amy is extremely nice l, caring, validating, and interested in clarity. Not only does she want to be clear with what I am saying to her, but she is helpful to make sure I am clear with myself.

Amy = awesome
She listens and understands my feelings concerns and gives good input and insight to help me become a better person for my daughter family and friends. Super easy to talk too about difficult situations. Would highly recommend Amy.
So far this has been a great experience for me. Amy is awesome and she actually listens and understands me. She pays attention to what I am saying and doesn’t seem distracted like the last therapist I had at another company. Amy doesn’t just tell me what she thinks I want to hear. Amy truly cares about my situation and actually reaches out to me between appointments to check on how I am doing. I would absolutely recommend Amy and BetterHelp!
Amy is the best therapist I have had. She is very supportive, listens attentively, and has help me grow and address every issue I have brought to her. I have learned skills to use daily to help with my anxiety and processing my emotions and past traumas.
