Amy Seligson , LPC

Amy Seligson pursued a career in therapy because she experienced firsthand how counseling can change a life. As a child she attended counseling to process her parents' separation, and that early support helped her navigate a painful family transition and shaped her understanding of healing. Over the years she continued to seek counseling herself and came to see therapy as a steadying influence during difficult times.

Motivated by that personal impact, Amy made it her goal to offer the same kind of guidance to others. She earned a Masters in Counseling from Wayne State University and holds the LPC credential, which means Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential that reflects graduate-level training and professional licensure. Her career has included roles as a special education teacher and as a counselor, positions that deepened her work with children, adolescents, teens, and parents.

Those combined experiences inform Amy's approach to counseling: she draws on her education, professional background, and personal insight to help people find clearer directions and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her work is shaped by a commitment to pay forward the support she once received and to guide individuals and families toward new paths.
