Amy Cantley, LPC

Amy Cantley, a Licensed Professional Counselor at LifeStance Health, brings 28 years of experience to her practice, offering compassionate and expert mental health care to individuals across the state. Amy’s approach is tailored to meet the unique emotional needs of each client, whether working with children, teens, adults, or seniors. Her goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. Specializing in individual, couple, family, and group therapy, Amy uses an eclectic blend of evidence-based therapies to ensure personalized treatment plans. Amy is particularly passionate about helping clients heal from trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. She integrates advanced therapeutic techniques such as Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist those facing deeply rooted emotional struggles. Her extensive training in these areas allows her to guide clients through transformative experiences, enabling them to process past wounds and move forward with resilience and clarity. Amy also works with individuals dealing with depression, relationship challenges, and grief, focusing on building trust and fostering growth throughout the therapeutic journey.



Amy’s practice also includes helping those navigating midlife transitions, medical conditions, and issues related to developmental disabilities. By drawing on her expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and biofeedback, Amy helps her clients develop effective coping strategies and manage their mental health in the long term. She works with various diverse populations, including military veterans, first responders, and the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring her services are inclusive and adaptable to the varied needs of her clients. Beyond her clinical work, Amy enjoys capturing the emotional essence of human life through photography, a hobby that parallels her deep empathy for the human experience. Her interest in adventure and environmentalism shines through her unique pastime of magnet fishing and metal detecting. She also dedicates her time to a charity she founded, The Abolish Bullying Campaign, which supports individuals who have experienced bullying in receiving mental health services.
