About Amy
Amy Louwers is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, trauma, and other life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Amy emphasizes the connection between mind and body and notices how physical symptoms and emotions can feed each other. She uses talk therapy alongside techniques that reach deeper patterns, including guided imagery and mind-body methods. Hypnotherapy is offered as a tool when appropriate and if a client is interested.
Sessions may include brain-rewiring strategies and somatic techniques to help regulate the nervous system and reduce ongoing physical and emotional tension. Amy also integrates sound bowl work and EFT/tapping in her practice when these tools fit the client's needs. The goal of these methods is to help people manage stress, reduce fear around symptoms, and create more helpful habits.
For people dealing with persistent physical symptoms, Amy offers a structured six-session Release & Rewire program designed to address anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and overwhelm. The program focuses on practical steps to lower fear about symptoms and build routines that support daily functioning.
Amy draws on personal experience with chronic illness and anxiety alongside two decades in mental health. She blends practical strategies and experiential exercises so sessions address both thoughts and bodily reactions. Outside work she enjoys dance workouts, walking, and trying to like golf.
How CBT and Hypnotherapy are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding. It breaks problems into small steps and practices new skills between sessions, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns.Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to reach deeper habits and beliefs that affect behavior and body responses. When used alongside other methods, it can support relaxation and help shift long-standing patterns a person wants to change.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's comfort level, and adjust based on what helps most. Sessions may combine CBT tools, somatic exercises, and hypnotherapy when appropriate and when the client is interested.
