Amy Prieb Therapy
Therapy for Individuals
You've spent a long time living in relation to other people — as a partner, a parent, a caretaker, the one who holds things together. Or maybe you've been searching for the right relationship for years and can't figure out why it keeps not working. Either way, you've arrived at the same question: what is it about me that keeps getting in the way? Not as self-blame. As genuine curiosity. That's exactly where we start.
You might be looking for individual therapy if...
-
You fall fast and hard — and then spend the whole relationship waiting for it to fall apart
-
You mistake intensity for intimacy — and you're starting to realize it
-
You give and give — and somehow still end up feeling invisible
-
You've been told you're "too much" — or you've made yourself smaller so you wouldn't be
-
You're high-functioning on the outside and quietly struggling on the inside
-
You don't really know who you are when you're not taking care of someone else
-
Something feels off — you can't quite name it, but you know it's there
-
You're facing an empty nest or a major life transition and wondering what's next
How I can help...
I'm a person first. A therapist second.
I'm not going to sit across from you with a clipboard and a neutral expression, nodding at everything you say. That's not how I work. I'm a real person — warm, intuitive, occasionally funny, and genuinely invested in what happens to you. I pay close attention, I trust my gut, and I have a way of hearing what's underneath what's being said. People often tell me they feel understood in a way they haven't before. That matters to me.
Together, we make sense of you inner world
My work with individuals is grounded in EFIT — Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy — the individual counterpart to the couples work I do. It's attachment-based, which means we're looking at the deep underlying patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and everyone around you. How you learned to love. How you learned to protect yourself. What you do when you feel scared or unseen or not enough. Those patterns make sense — they were survival strategies once. But they may be running your life in ways that aren't serving you anymore.
If the Enneagram speaks to you, we'll use it
For people who resonate with it, I also incorporate the Enneagram (a personality typing system) — not as a label or a box to put yourself in, but as a remarkably precise map of your inner world. It can be a powerful tool for understanding why you do what you do, and for finding your way toward a freer, more grounded version of yourself.
I follow you--your goals write the map
Whether you're trying to feel more at home in yourself, or doing that inner work in service of something bigger — your romantic relationships, your kids, your friendships, your colleagues — this is the place. Secure attachment starts inside. Everything else grows from there.
And the setting doesn't hurt.
All of this happens in a yurt in a meadow. Quiet, warm, and a world away from the noise of your regular life. People exhale when they arrive. That's exactly the point.
