A Message From Amy
Before You Read
Another Word —
Hear This First.
In this short video, Amy speaks directly to the skepticism, the questions, and the quiet pull you may already be feeling — and why that pull is worth paying attention to.
"I found this at 50. I was not looking for it. And it changed everything — for me, for my family, and then for my clients. It changed how I understood what was actually possible for all of us."

Who This Is Built For
Private Practice
Professionals
Ready for More.
This certification was created for psychologists, therapists, mental health professionals, life coaches, wellness specialists, ASD and anxiety experts, social workers, and counselors — anyone serious about becoming the recognized expert in anxiety resolution, serious about client outcomes, serious about differentiation, and ready to build something that sets them apart and compensates them accordingly.
Psychologists
Give clients something to walk out with - and something that keeps working between sessions. Keep them off the psychiatry referral path.
Therapists
Add a layer that accelerates what you're already doing inside the session room.
Social Workers & Counselors
A defined specialty that elevates both your scope and your income
Wellness Professionals
A structured framework for the anxiety work you're already doing
What Your Clients Aren't Telling You
Your clients are walking out of sessions and quietly searching on their own.
They want support that doesn't require a prescription. They assumed you might not be open to it — so they never asked.
This certification makes you the professional they don't have to hide from — the one who can meet them exactly where they already are.
The Gap That Keeps Showing Up
You Are Skilled.
Your Clients Are Working Hard.
And Still.
Your clients understand their triggers. They have done the work. They can name what is happening. And still — something keeps stalling. You have sensed it too.
- Regulation wavers between sessions
- Progress slows just when it should accelerate.
- Anxious patterns resurface, again and again.
- Clients gain insight — but not enough relief.
- Therapeutic momentum stalls.
You have sensed it — that there is more available for them. This certification is what that more looks like.
“My therapist asked me what changed.”
What clients are telling their own clinicians — after adding this structured support alongside their care
What Clients Are Actually Asking For
They Don't Just Want
Less Anxiety.
They Want Themselves Back.
Anxiety does not just make people anxious. It makes them someone they don't recognize. It changes how they show up to their relationships, how they parent, how they work, how they feel, how they rest. It narrows what they believe is possible for their life.
What clients describe — after this structured support is added alongside their care — is not just reduced symptoms. It is a return to themselves. The version that existed before anxiety became the operating system.
"For the first time in years I felt like myself again. Not managed — actually myself. That's what I had stopped hoping for."
- References available upon request. Amy is happy to connect serious applicants with clients who can speak directly to what this work has done — for themselves and for their family.
- Lighter
The constant hum of worry begins to quiet. Clients notice it in small moments first — then everywhere.
- Steadier
Emotional regulation between sessions strengthens. They stop white-knuckling through the week.
- Back in their own life
Present again in their relationships, their work, their parenting. Anxiety no longer runs the room.
- Off the referral-to-psychiatry path
For psychologists especially — clients heading toward medication now have a supported, structured alternative path.
- Most feel the difference within the first month
You will know what to listen for — in their language, their energy, and how they describe their week.
Then They Ask You Something Else Entirely
"Can you do this for my child
who struggles with anxiety too?"
Anxiety does not always arrive the same way. It can be inherited. It can come from trauma. It can come from environment — the family system, the household, the stress absorbed over years. And your clients know this. When they start feeling better, they look at their child — and they see themselves. The worry. The reactivity. The tension at the dinner table. And they trust you enough to ask.
This is where your practice multiplies. One adult client becomes a family. The concierge relationship that began with them now extends to their child, their spouse, their teenager. You are no longer just their therapist — you are the specialist their whole family turns to. This happens naturally, without any sales conversation at all.

"Before I was just me, living in an unconscious state. A wife, a daughter, a mother of four. Today I am a successful health coach, an author, and a skin care designer. I had all that in me — it was waiting to burst out. The support gave it a path."

This Is Also a Revenue Story
A Practice That Finally Reflects
the Depth of Your Work.
Insurance reimbursement has not kept pace with your expertise, your overhead, or the care you actually provide. An integrative mental health advanced anxiety certification — delivered as a defined concierge service — is one of the most natural and defensible ways to change that. It is a premium offering. It pays like one. And clients are actively looking for it.
Pathway One
Add a Premium Layer to Your Existing Practice
Keep everything you have. Add integrative wellness consultations as a separate, direct-pay service alongside your current caseload — insurance-based or otherwise. Same clients, new revenue stream, no disruption to what already works. This is where the journey begins — and it begins on your terms.
Pathway Two
Build a Hybrid Practice Over Time
Insurance therapy for some clients. Direct-pay integrative specialty for others. As your confidence and reputation in the specialty grows, you shift the balance — fewer insurance panels, more specialty clients. The balance shifts as your confidence and reputation grow — at whatever pace feels right for you.
Pathway Three
Build Toward a Full Concierge Practice
For the practitioner ready to leave insurance behind entirely. The certification gives you the specialty identity, the documented system, and the income replacement model to make that viable — at your own pace, on your own timeline. The destination is yours to define. The certification gives you the foundation to get there.
- No insurance portal
- No claim denials
- No $90 reimbursements for 50 minutes of expertise
Your Practice
Your Terms.
Your Clients.
Your Future.
Insurance reimbursement has a ceiling built into it by someone who has never met your clients. A concierge specialty does not. You set the rate. You define the relationship. You decide what your expertise is worth. As your concierge practice grows — and as families bring their children, their spouses, their teenagers — the income grows with it. The 1:1 Strategy Session you receive upon certification is where your specific pricing strategy gets built, around your market, your clients, and your goals.
A Direct Conversation About Your Practice
Physicians Are Going
Concierge by the
Thousands.
Why Aren't You?
Across the country, internists, family physicians, and specialists are walking away from insurance panels and rebuilding their practices on a direct-pay, relationship-based model. They call it concierge medicine. Their clients pay a monthly retainer for direct access, unhurried appointments, and a provider who actually knows them. The mental health profession is next. And the professionals who make this move now — with a defined specialty, a certified methodology, and a premium positioning — will not be competing with anyone. They will be in a category of their own. You have something physicians building concierge practices do not: a structured, documented integrative consultation model that clients cannot get anywhere else. That is not just a service. That is the foundation of a concierge practice.
What a Concierge Mental Health Practice Actually Looks Like
- Selective intake
You choose who you work with. Clients apply to work with you — not the other way around. Your specialty makes you worth applying to.
- Monthly retainer or per-consultation premium
Clients pay directly for access to your expertise — a defined monthly fee or per-consultation rate set by you, not an insurance panel.
- Unhurried, relationship-based care
You are not rushing to the next 50-minute slot. You have the space to do the work. Clients feel it. That is the concierge difference.
- The family multiplier
One adult client becomes a family. Their child. Their spouse. Their teenager. The concierge relationship expands naturally — without a sales conversation.
- A practice you can run from home
Virtual. Selective. Premium. The model physicians are building in physical offices, you can build from wherever you work best.
The certification does not just teach you a methodology. It gives you the foundation for a completely different kind of practice.
A Name You Already Know
This Is Called
Integrative Wellness.
And It Is Already
in the Hospitals.
The term used by the NIH, major medical schools, and hospital systems is Complementary and Integrative Health — defined as approaches that work alongside conventional care to treat the whole person. This is not fringe. It is formally named, federally funded, and institutionally adopted.
Your clients are already seeking it. This certification makes you the recognized professional who can meet them — with structure, documentation, and a professional framework behind every consultation.
- Duke, Harvard, Stanford, and Yale all belong to the 75+ member Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health
- Harvard Medical School has run an NIH-funded Research Fellowship in Integrative Medicine since 1999 — the first of its kind in the US
- The NIH has a dedicated center — the NCCIH — with a $170 million annual research budget for complementary and integrative health
- 49% of hospitals began offering integrative services because of patient demand — not because they were required to
Complementary
Used Alongside Conventional Care
Integrative wellness approaches are designed to complement what you already do — not replace it. Your clinical work remains the foundation. This adds a structured, documented support layer on top of it.
Ethical
Within Scope. Structured. Defensible.
You are not practicing medicine. You are offering a structured wellness consultation as a defined, separate service — with clarity on framing, documentation, and professional boundaries. The training covers all of it
Evidence-Informed
Your Clients Are Already Using This
The NIH's NCCIH tracks and publishes research on complementary and integrative health approaches. Your clients are using this database. They are looking for clinicians who are informed too.
Being open to integrative wellness is not a departure from your clinical ethics. It is an expression of them — meeting clients where they already are, with structure they can trust.
The Market Is Moving — Fast
Get Ahead of It.
Not Behind It.
The global complementary and integrative health market was valued at over $179 billion in 2024. It is projected to grow at more than 25% annually — one of the fastest-growing sectors in global healthcare. The fastest-growing segment is mind healing — anxiety, stress, and depression — driven by explosive demand for non-pharmaceutical support.
This is not a trend. It is a permanent shift in how people want to be supported. And right now, very few private practice professionals have
a structured, sought after methodology to meet it.
The clinicians who build this specialty now will be known for it when the rest of the field starts paying attention.

The Methodology
One Integrated System.
Professionally Structured.
Taught Nowhere Else.
What you learn inside this certification is a single, integrated consultation methodology — drawing on the world's most respected wellness traditions, curated and combined in a way that is taught nowhere else in this form.
The certification focuses on anxiety — because Amy has written the book on it, because it is the most urgent presenting challenge in private practice today, and because it is the clearest entry point for this methodology. But what you will discover is that the system addresses the full spectrum of negative mental health experiences: feelings, behaviors, and thoughts. Anxiety is the door. What is on the other side of it applies to nearly every client you see.
It is not a wellness add-on. It is a complete consultation model you deliver with professional confidence — and price accordingly.
What Amy teaches — how to build professionalism, structure, and a consultation business around this modality — is not taught anywhere else. That is what makes the certification meaningful. That is what makes the income possible.
01
Globally Respected Traditions
Draws on the world's most documented wellness approaches — practiced by healthcare professionals across six continents for decades.
02
Curated for Anxiety Specifically
Not a general wellness approach — a targeted methodology applied to the specific emotional presentations of anxiety. Every element selected with clinical purpose.
03
Safe for All Ages — Including Children
Non-invasive. No contraindications with medications. Safe for children, adolescents, and adults. This is why families come back.
04
The Professionalism Model — Unique to This Training
How to build a structured, client-facing consultation practice around this approach is taught here — and nowhere else.
A Direct Conversation
If You Are Skeptical,
That Is a Good Sign.
You are trained to question things you don't know. That is the mark of a rigorous professional. So let us address what you are likely thinking.
"Is this within my scope of practice?"
Yes. These consultations are designed to operate alongside your clinical work — not within it. You are not practicing medicine. You are offering a documented, structured wellness service with its own defined scope. The training gives you complete clarity on framing, documentation, and professional positioning.
"Is this considered ethical?"
Offering complementary wellness consultations as a separate, clearly defined service — with appropriate informed consent and documentation — is consistent with clinical ethical frameworks. Structure, transparency, and clarity of scope are the keys. That is exactly what this training teaches.
"What will colleagues think?"
Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and Duke all have formal integrative medicine programs. The VA embedded these approaches into 90% of its facilities. The question is whether you build this specialty now — or catch up later.
"I'm not a holistic practitioner."
Neither are most professionals in this certification. This is not about changing your identity. It is about adding a certified specialty in advance anxiety to the work you already do — in your existing practice, with your existing clients.
The Bottom Line
Your clients are already looking for this support.
Some are already using it without professional guidance.
You learning this — within a structured, ethical, professional framework — is not a departure from your values.
It is an expression of them.
Duke, Harvard, Stanford, and Yale's Academic Consortium defines integrative medicine as practice that "focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches to achieve optimal health." That is the professional standard this certification trains you to meet.
What Becomes Possible
These Are Not Symptoms
Being Managed.
They Are Disappearing.
This is the distinction that changes everything. Most interventions suppress anxiety — the symptoms quiet down but the underlying emotional state remains. What clients experience with this methodology is different. The anxiety itself begins to resolve. You will see it. They will feel it.
The therapists already working with your clients will notice. Their clients' children's therapists noticed. Clinicians were following the results back to this work — and asking what was different.
This Is What Third-Party Clinical Validation Looks Like
Greater Stabilization
Clients arrive more regulated. The nervous system begins to settle in ways that conversation alone could not reach.
Reduced Spiral Intensity
Anxious thought loops lose their grip. The spirals still come — but shorter, softer, and more recoverable.
Back to Themselves
Not just less anxious — recognizably themselves again. Present in their relationships, their work, their life.
Stronger Between-Session Regulation
Clients stop white-knuckling through the week. The support carries the work between sessions.
Regained Control
Fears soften. Reactivity decreases. Clients describe a felt sense of options — and being back in the driver's seat.
Faster Therapeutic Momentum
Sessions go deeper because clients come in more ready. Your in-session work can go further.

THE CERTIFICATION INTENSIVE

Not a passive online course. The Advanced Anxiety Intensive Certification was originally delivered as a two-month weekend course.

The professionals who find this training are usually at a specific point. They are good at what they do. They want to be known for outcomes that are uncommon. They are ready for income that reflects the depth of their work. And they are open to something that — once they see it shift a client — they cannot imagine not offering.
The application takes less than ten minutes. There are no wrong answers. It is a conversation starter — so that when we speak, we can spend the entire call on your practice, your goals, and your roadmap.
