Meet Amee Respicio, LICSW, CMHS
Hello, I’m Amee, your partner in nurturing the bright futures of children and teens aged 8-18.
At the heart of my practice lies a commitment to fostering resilience amidst life’s twists and turns. With a wealth of experience as a designated Child Mental Health Specialist, I specialize in creating safe havens where young minds can navigate their emotions and experiences authentically.
I support each child's path with creativity, using art, play, and meaningful conversations to provide responsive guidance and foster resiliency. In our therapeutic space, I prioritize your child's emotional safety, drawing from child-centered, neurodiversity-affirming, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Going beyond surface issues, I explore your child's unique qualities and experiences to develop a personalized treatment plan that honors their individuality.
Every child deserves a nurturing environment to thrive and reach their potential. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together, empowering your child to embrace life’s possibilities with confidence and resilience.
