Amy Taddeo, LPC

Individual, Family and Group Therapy

 

Amy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in both Virginia and West Virginia who specializes in her work with eating disorders. She has over eight years of experience treating eating and mood disorders across various levels of care, including outpatient, and in intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs. While Amy works primarily with individuals, facilitating both individual and group therapy sessions, she is well-versed in supporting the families and loved ones of clients as they navigate the therapeutic process.

Amy has had a lifelong passion for eating disorder advocacy, education, and treatment accessibility. She understands that seeking therapy is a difficult decision and is passionate about being an encouraging support to individuals and families embarking on this journey. Her approach to therapy is warm, energetic, and empowering. She enjoys working with individuals of all genders and ages, though particularly excels in her work with older adolescents and young adults as they navigate the more transitional stages of life. Amy uses a person-centered approach to therapy that allows her clients to be their own experts, and to use their own understanding of their experiences as a baseline for their healing. She also integrates relational therapy techniques, supporting clients in building their sense of self and autonomy, while also developing patience with and trust in their relationships with others.

Amy graduated from Marymount University with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Prior to that, she received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from George Mason University. She is a member of the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (IAEDP) and is currently working toward her Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) certification.
