Amie Dunn, M.S., LMHC, CPLC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Certified Professional Life Coach
727-277-2594

I have a foundational belief that no one deserves to be alone on their healing journey. My name is Amie Dunn. I have spent the last 25 years dedicated to helping individuals and families struggling with mental health issues.

I obtained two master’s degrees, one in Cognitive and Behavioral Disabilities as well as in Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation. I am furthering my studies as well with a doctoral program with a PhD in Psychology and am eager to complete that journey, reaching a very personal goal after my own traumatic event rocked my life.

My post-graduate work has allowed me to specialize in trauma, with certifications in Sexual Abuse, Play Therapy, and Art therapy. I hold certifications in specific modalities including Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy, Crisis Intervention Therapy, Trauma Informed Consent Therapy, and Child Adoptions Related Therapy, Mindfulness and Certified Professional Life Coaching. I am a Preferred Provided for the Department of Children and Families/Child Protective Services Division program. My specialized skill sets have also led me to be a sworn in expert witness for Pinellas. Hillsborough, Pasco, and Hernando Counties, respectively.

For the past twenty-five years, I have dedicated myself to working with military veterans, children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with trauma. I look forward to the opportunity of hearing your story. I approach each individual with respect, reliability and real-life experiences resulting in a level of respectable relatability. No one person fits in a square box and can find all the answers from a textbook. As a Play Therapist I seek healing for others outside the norms of traditional counseling. I believe it has to hit home and be real, truly real for trust and safety to build. This is the place where each client feels empowered to use their voice! It is my honor to offer services helping individuals seeking to find hope and healing. Everyone deserves support in their healing journey and should never feel alone. My hope and commitment to each of my clients is for every single person to have the life they want and so deserve.

How I Started My Career

I began my career working with the Veterans Administration.
I aided in transitioning soldiers returning home. I worked diligently to help each warrior and their families reunite and reconnect.

As a behavioral specialist, I worked with a specialized team in the public and private sectors for the district. I had the opportunity to write and implement a cutting-edge curriculum specific to students’ individual needs. I have experience providing training and support to teachers, parents, administration, and the community in how to utilize specialized curriculums and implement and maintain appropriate accommodations, fitting each individualized learner’s needs.


In my private practice I provide counseling to children, families, and individuals with their individual specialized treatment needs. 

I offer assessments and documentation for support animals to serve as an addition to the interventions provided.

At this time, sessions are also available through our HIPPA compliant, secure Teladoc server. My counseling and coaching offer an additional set of services available, where I am equipped to provide parents and teachers of children with special needs a specialized training program to provide the bridge of support, so no child is left behind! I pride my work on focusing on only the support and advocacy for every client. 

Everyone deserves someone in their corner when they need a little help finding their voice. The most significant moments in care are when they do!

I have the honor and privilege to work along side a team of amazing caregivers and Targeted Case Managers who have linked forces to provide services through our trusted preferred provider referral service.


For families looking for DCF court ordered case plan tasks, full workshops, trainings, and classes are available as well. These courses offer areas in Anger Management, Parenting, Domestic Violence, Sexual abuse Victims Counseling, Bonding Assessments and Therapeutic Supervised Visitations.

 

I am extremely excited to announce the launch of my full development and training services now available. Please take a look at our new classes as well offering CEU’s for practitioners through my collaboration with my mentor and personal hero, Dr. Angel Falzone.

 

I look forward to serving you. Book an appointment today. All you have to do is show up, healing will begin the moment you walk through the door!
For those struggling financially, services are available on a sliding scale. My foundation of healing is based on the believe that doing the right thing and having it shine through a true place of unconditional support, light, and kindness; will always take precedent for the clients and families I serve. No one should go without because of hard times.
