About
Meet Amy
Amy Gates is a licensed certified clinical social worker in Rockville, Maryland, with 26 years in practice. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, and she helps people who feel stuck in difficult life transitions. A large part of her practice is couples and parenting work, often with parents raising a child with special needs, helping them develop coping strategies that ease worry. She also sees teens, older adults and families, with concerns including grief, self-esteem, OCD and the perinatal period. Her approach is supportive, practical and solution-focused, treating therapy as a way to make change rather than only gain insight, and she uses CBT, coaching and strength-based methods. Sessions are offered online.
