I’m Amy Edge, an Associate Licensed and Christian counselor in Dothan, AL. Since I believe God made our whole being, I take an integrative approach to your mental health. God is the one in charge of our healing, and He has provided a template for healthy living in many ways, whether it is spiritually, mentally, or physically.  

In our sessions, you will find an active listener who will sit with you in your pain and help you find hope and solutions for the future. I have experience with trauma-related issues, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, grief, and marriage. I work with adults, teenagers, and marriages. I am a wife, parent, and grandparent. I understand many of the struggles of middle age. I spent many years teaching Community Bible Study, working in the church, and running a Christian non-profit. These experiences give me perspective in the counseling room. 

I completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine. I am trained in John Townsend’s model of character development, including attachment, boundaries, integration, and adulthood. I like to combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (renewing your mind), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (emotional regulation and self-control), Internal Family Systems (parts work and freedom from patterns of behavior), somatic skills (calming the nervous system), and faith-based techniques (guided experiences of prayer, forgiveness, and experiences with the Lord). 

I became a licensed counselor because I wanted more skills and understanding to help people deal with their pasts and move into their future with confidence and peace. I feel called to help set people free.
