Ami Fletcher is an Austin Peay State University graduate with an M.S. in Counseling. I enjoy working with individuals, as well as couples, and doing play therapy with children. As a certified spiritual director, I see people who are desiring a closer walk with the God of their understanding, with any religion, or of none. I have extensive experience with 12-Step programs, both addicts/alcoholics, and their families. My specialties also include working with people in later life and people experiencing grief. I am a practitioner of Brainspotting, which helps people who have suffered trauma in their lives. My beliefs are that everyone can blossom in a sincere atmosphere of encouragement. Diving deep into the heart and mind to search for feelings and thoughts that might have been dormant for a while is crucial. I am prepared to help all my clients have a richer, more satisfying life experience.
