Amelia Harper is a patient, grounded, and compassionate clinician.

She utilizes these strengths to support her clients to reflect and work towards their goals of healing and growth. With the client at the center of her work, Amelia uses her calm demeanor, compassion and a non-judgmental approach to create a therapeutic space that allows the client to bravely step into vulnerability and begin to feel more comfortable in the room and with themselves.

She knows that most struggles in life are connected to some level of trauma, and that in order to heal and move forward in life, people need compassion, empathy, and emotional safety.
