Clinical Interns

Amy Greenwood (she/her)

Clinical intern, supervised by registered psychotherapist

Life’s challenges can take a massive toll on your physical and mental health. Oftentimes, we feel lost, tired, alone, and overwhelmed. It takes courage and strength to reach out for help and support, so be proud you are taking this first step! 

I believe that change is possible for everyone and that you are the expert in your own life. As your therapist, I will help guide you, support you, and provide you with a safe space to heal and grow using a humanistic and person-centred approach. 

Amy Greenwood is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Clinical Intern with LightHouse Counselling and Wellness. She provides psychotherapy to teens, adults, BIPOC, and LGBTQ2SIA+ with a focus on women’s health issues, anxiety, stress management, self-esteem, and sports performance.
