My name is Amy Nava, LMFT. I founded Groundwork Therapy because I firmly believe in the importance of quality talk and equine therapy.
I have witnessed firsthand how psychotherapy can transform lives, and creating a space for your healing is essential. I am genuine, I care deeply, and I am here for you.
A solid foundation is essential for our mental health, just as it is for any structure. Quality care and support in our mental health journey can make a significant difference, fostering resilience, growth, and well-being. By prioritizing compassionate and effective therapy from the ground up, we build a strong base that allows us to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence. Your mental health matters, and creating a space for healing and growth is a profound and important step.
Choosing between humans or horses as facilitators for your mental health journey is a deeply personal decision, and both paths offer unique and profound benefits.
Human Facilitators: Engaging in talk therapy with a licensed therapist provides direct, empathetic human interaction. With expert guidance, deep listening, and therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs, you'll be in good hands. Talk therapy can help navigate complex emotions, provide valuable insights, and foster personal growth.
Equine Facilitators: Horses, with their intuitive nature and non-judgmental presence, create a unique therapeutic experience. They reflect your emotions and behaviors, offering immediate, honest feedback that can lead to powerful self-discovery and emotional breakthroughs. Interacting with horses can enhance mindfulness, build trust, and encourage emotional resilience.
Both approaches aim to create a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. Whether you feel more connected to the compassionate guidance of a human therapist or the serene, grounding presence of horses (or a bit of both!), what's most important is choosing the path that resonates with you and supports your well-being.
When you come to the office, I want you to know that I'm a living, breathing person you can connect to. The best therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. Let's talk, and let's be real.
Horses have profoundly changed my life, and I believe they can change yours too. My practice offers certified, high quality somatic group psychotherapy with horses, for when you need a hands on encounter.
I believe in client-driven collaboration. Therapy should never feel forced or formal, and the value of your input throughout treatment is pivotal to me. I always seek to make sure you leave feeling understood and safely seen.
Your experience of the work we do should feel clear and safe. I focus on top-tier care, including cutting-edge treatments, high regard to ethics, and extensive clinical experience.
I specialize in teens, young adults, and adults. I recognize the unique challenges that young people often face: anxiety, depression, substance use, moodiness, behavior non-compliance, social stressors, and relational conflict, to name a few. I am eager and equipped to join you in the struggle that young people face as they are building (or re-building!) the foundations for their life. You will not be alone.
