Where and with who is it offered?
Meet face to face with Amy Fitzgerald, who is a RETIRED Trauma therapist and the co-creator of the Fitzgerald Freedom Theory. She is skilled with meeting veterans in their military identity and helping them get to where they want to be. She has successfully helped many veterans reconnect to the aspects of their humanity they had to disconnect from when they were trained to take on the military identity. Her office is intentionally set in a rustic log cabin looking out over the expanse of pasture and woodlands at the Ranch.
Amy worked in the mental health field from 2002-2021 specializing in Complex Trauma. In March of 2021 Amy RETIRED her LPC-MHSP to pursue creating this nonprofit with her husband Marty. Amy is NO LONGER a licensed therapist. Amy decided to work with helping clients using holistic approaches that she has found effective with pulling out root issues veterans deal with.. Amy's father is a Vietnam Veteran. Having been raised by a parent who functioned in the military identity, she has firsthand experience with the behaviors and the effects those behaviors can have on a family.
Amy’s goal is to efficiently help you deal with what you need to work through so that you can have it resolved as quickly as possible. Past clients appreciate her humor, relatability, intuitiveness, and directness. She uses modalities that encounter you holistically to alleviate feelings and experiences that are overwhelming you, and remove root issues that contribute to what you are struggling with.
