Amy
Amy Leiferman (LIFE-ER-MAN) is the primary therapist and practice owner. When she is not in the office or attending classes and workshops, she loves traveling, the ocean, all beaches, collecting sea glass, yoga, reading, animals, and planning new adventures. She has a daughter in nursing school in Virginia Beach, a son currently in middle school, and one very high maintenance fur-baby (see below).
Paisley has been the office therapy dog for nine years now. She is a tiny, hypo-allergenic tea cup shih tzu always ready to give high fives and cuddles to anyone in need. She especially loves when clients sit on the floor for art therapy projects and let her play with (and lay on) all the supplies. Her hobbies include eating, napping, socializing, paddle boarding, and riding in her stroller.
