Meet Dr. Amy Gaesser.
Amy has over 25 years of experience in mental health and academia, specializing in counseling interventions to assist children, adolescents and adults with transitions and a broad spectrum of academic, developmental, social, and emotional concerns. Among Amy’s areas of expertise are Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for stress and anxiety management, the specialized needs of high-ability youth, and mindfulness counseling.
Amy utilizes a gentle, collaborative, client-centered approach to counseling that encourages the individual’s increased, age-appropriate self-awareness and development of skills in a safe and supportive environment. Integrating complementary methodologies and techniques, she creates a personalized, strength-based setting to support each client’s unique needs and work towards their desired growth and goals.
In addition to private practice, Amy is an Assistant Professor at SUNY Brockport. She publishes and presents at national, regional and local levels on the effective use of EFT for stress and anxiety management, the neurological and cognitive impacts of stress and anxiety, and the needs of high-ability youth. She is also actively engaged with professional counseling organizations, and serves as a Fellow for the Yunasa summer camps which support the balanced development of the five aspects of self for gifted youth.
