Amy O'Coin
Amy was in the corporate world but decided to switch careers due to lack of work/life balance and experiencing burnout. She takes a holistic approach to work with her clients and specializes in life transitions, imposter syndrome, anxiety and more.
- Emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress; I had feelings of overwhelm, emotionally drained, and was unable to meet the daily demands of life. I realized I was suffering from burnout and chose the support of counselling as a tool to help positively shift my beliefs and values through my burnout recovery.
- Career changes; my experiences prompted my career transition into the field of professional counselling.
- Healing attachment wounds; while healing my own attachment wounds I became very interested in, and completed training in Attachment Trauma and Couples Counselling.
- Indigenous (Mohawk) and Irish descent which has given me the valuable perspective on how culture, society and diversity, among many other factors, can influence the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
