Amy Elisa Hedrick LCPC, CST
AASECT certified sex therapist
Amy Elisa Hedrick is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Idaho for the past 19 years, locally operating her private practice for the past 12 years and specializing in sex therapy since 2010.
She values empowering others to embrace their bodies and enhance their capacity for intimacy and sexual fulfillment either individually or within relationships. Her training encompasses specific concerns such as anorgasmia, painful intercourse, sexual desire discrepancies between partners, and much more . She believes in staying educated in order to maintain the highest quality of competency and expertise in her field and maintains a resolutely open mind, seeking to understand the vast variance of sexual needs, desires, expressions, and orientations unique to each person/relationship. She seeks to understand sexual behaviors in the context of the purpose they serve and adheres to a professional ethos of “do no harm”.
Her counseling style is warm, casual and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on respect for each individual’s unique process in therapy. She believes in drawing upon clients’ personal strengths while implementing unique and creative solutions to problems, all the while valuing the process that unfolds – rather than being goal-focused in trying to get somewhere. It is her sincere belief that it is the process that teaches, moment to moment, while the end result is merely one benefit among many.
