More on Amy and Lindsay:

Amy Roy believes in the power of helping people discover the strengths they already possess within themselves. Personal empowerment is a driving force in her work and she is deeply passionate about helping people create the lives they desire.

Amy spent many years working in higher education and has loved helping young adults along their journey into adulthood. After completing the CES Seminary teaching program, she worked as an CES Institute teacher for Harvard and MIT students in Cambridge, MA. Amy's experience of leaving the LDS Church after two years of research, followed by her journey in alcohol recovery, inspired her to return to school for her second master's degree to become a therapist. Amy is passionate about helping people in recovery and those creating a new life for themselves after major life changes and/or trauma. She sought out a practice with a faith transition specialty and is thrilled to now be with Symmetry! She is also a board member of the Mormon Mental Health Association (MMHA)

Along with being a Certified Life Coach, Amy holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University and a Master of Higher Education Leadership degree from Northcentral University, and is currently finishing her Master's in May as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor.
