Amy Waldner
Hi there! I am a psychotherapist and have been practicing in the Houston area for 18 years. Prior to entering private practice, I worked as a primary therapist at the Center for Recovering Families treatment facility at The Council on Recovery.
​
I specialize in addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family of origin and relationship issues. I am a state board approved supervisor and provide clinical supervision for licensed master social workers who are working towards their clinical licensure, as well as, provide consultation to fellow clinicians seeking support.
​​
A unique service I offer is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I am partnered with Journey Clinical and offer in-office Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. KAP is a holistic modality in which Ketamine is used as a compliment to psychotherapy to help eligible clients get "unstuck" and experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms.
​​​
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our children, our animals, visiting with family, having coffee and breakfast with friends, traveling, reading, playing sports, painting, yoga, walking, binge watching a good show and being a Girl Scout troop leader.

Healing is Possible
Philosophy
Being a human is hard! We all experience struggles or difficult feelings at some point in our lives. Sometimes we need support outside of our family and friends. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to receive unconditional support and guidance. My intention is to hold space for you to feel heard and understood and help you gain comfort, self-awareness, empowerment, clarity and healing.
I feel we are all on our personal recovery journey and are striving to live an authentic life where we can experience joy and fulfillment. I truly believe that great change and recovery are possible. I have seen many people, time and time again, overcome enormous emotional struggles.
My therapeutic approach is not "one size fits all". I feel everyone comes to therapy with different needs. My goal is to get to know you and work with you to build a trusting relationship and establish goals together. Some of the treatment modalities I practice are Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
I believe with the combination of my clinical training and genuine passion for personal growth, along with your dedication to your therapy, we can work together to help you achieve the wholeness you are seeking.
