Amy "Rocky" Harold, LMFTA

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST
Pronouns: She/Her

As a parent of three adult children and retired public school teacher, Rocky sought therapy multiple times. Rocky was lucky to have therapists who love unconditionally, without passing judgment. Rocky strives to give back what she was given.

Parenting and being parented can feel perilous. Sometimes the family process breaks down and people feel stuck. Good therapy helps people find their own strengths and use them to repair the broken process. Family members practice being close in ways that feel good. They practice being apart in ways that also feel good. Being close in some ways and apart in other ways helps people be authentic with themselves and trusting of each other.

Rocky knows there is more than one way to peel a potato. Whatever way clients lean toward, their values direct therapy. Among therapies Rocky already offers are Solution-Focused, Narrative, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused, Transgenerational, Collaborative Problem Solving, and Polyvagal as indicated by attachment strategies and trauma responses. Rocky is excited about learning other models as well.

Rocky helps individuals, couples, relationships, and families with a variety of concerns. She is passionate about parenting/being parented, transgender, gender identity in families, foster care/adoption, attachment, anger management, self-harm, existence/existential, spirituality, power, belonging, safety, trusting one's own feeling and thinking, hope, love, racial bias, systemic racism, internalized oppression, trauma, cancer, blended families, military life, abuse, sexuality, sexual preference, anxiety, depression, substance use, undesired behaviors, gaming, the environment, autism, school problems, work problems, and the LGBTQIA++ community.
