About Amaya

Experience: 2 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a compassionate professional dedicated to empowering children and adolescents through intensive in-home therapy and specialized education. With a background in mental health and special education, I have spent 2 1/2 years fostering growth and resilience in young minds. In the realm of in-home therapy, I have been a guiding light for families navigating the complexities of mental health challenges. Working closely with children ages 6 to 18, I have provided personalized support and intervention, helping clients develop coping skills, build self-esteem, and navigate life's hurdles with confidence. Transitioning seamlessly from home to classroom, I have also made a profound impact in school settings, particularly with special needs children. As an educator, I bring patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of individual learning styles to the forefront, ensuring that every student receives the tailored support they need to thrive.
