Amy Heim, LCSW-R

Amy Heim is a New York LCSW-R with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also includes concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image troubles, ADHD, and codependency.

Amy uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, and Narrative Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on small experiments and clearer choices rather than only talking about problems.

In sessions she helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, persistent caregiving roles, or losing a sense of themselves in relationships. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, blended family issues, separation, and career or parenting pressures. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with time for practical tools and reflection.

Amy aims to help clients clarify values, set boundaries, and practice skills that fit their everyday life. She works with clients to identify attachment patterns and old stories that shape current relationships. Clients who want focused work on codependency-related patterns can explore how to change caretaking habits and build clearer limits.
