Hi! Welcome to Better Help! You’ve taken a huge step, and I’m sure you’re wondering how this works and whether it’s the right fit for you. I commend you for your willingness and I look forward to getting to know you. My name is Amelia Wolter, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida. I earned my Master’s Degree from Nova Southeastern University, specializing in Couples & Family Therapy. I’ve worked with countless individuals, couples and families and my clinical expertise has been utilized in numerous therapeutic settings amongst diverse populations. Specializing with those who are coping with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, abuse, codependency, mood disorders, addictions of all kinds, cooccurring disorders, sexuality, marital discord, family problems, grief and loss. I have also had the privilege of receiving specialized training in attachment and I’m highly skilled in trauma work stemming from family of origin wounding. With over a decade of experience as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to embark on this journey with. I truly believe that what we nurture will eventually grow. It’s my honor and privilege to be your healing gardener, I look forward to planting seeds and watching grow. We are capable of growth through increasing our self-awareness. Sometimes another person, one who isn’t in our immediate circle, can offer a perspective or additional support, that give us further insight then we thought possible. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it’s very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. Our relationship with ourself and others has worth and is valuable to explore. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, five days per week. I offer messaging, live chat, video and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first. I truly look forward to working with you!
