Amy McNew

Amy (she/her) is currently accepting new clients; inquire about working with her through our form.

Dr. Amy McNew is a licensed clinical psychologist, as well as the founder of Luminations Psychotherapy and Wellness. Her doctoral education included five years of LGBTQ affirming training and psychotherapy, and she has been an active member of the LGBTQ community for over a decade. 

Dr. McNew takes a holistic, collaborative approach to helping clients heal by using a combination of psychotherapy and craniosacral therapy to help clients move toward a sense of peace and balance in their lives. For many, this means working together with Dr. McNew to heal from past traumas, overcome symptoms of depression and anxiety, learning to be more self-accepting, cultivating more fulfilling relationships, and finding a deeper sense of self and meaning in life.

Dr. McNew works within an Existential/Humanistic and Psychodynamic framework. She offers individual psychotherapy for adults, and for those interested, she integrates craniosacral therapy and psychotherapy. Blending bodywork with talk therapy can benefit clients by helping both the body and mind to heal from trauma and stress and achieve a deeper state of relaxation. She also offers craniosacral therapy as a standalone treatment. 

In addition to Dr. McNew’s above stated therapeutic orientation, she believes that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is also essential for healing and transformation. She is dedicated to providing affirming services to the LGBTQ community and supporting clients of all identities through the process of self-actualization.
