Safe Spaces for Healing:
Passionate Guidance for Couples, Individuals, and Women Facing Betrayal
Amy Fife, LPC
Amy is an AZ Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Fife Counseling, PLLC. She holds a master’s degree in Community Counseling and is honored to be working with her colleagues at Collective Practices of Arizona Counselors.
Amy is an attachment-based and an emotionally focused therapist. Amy enjoys accompanying individuals/couples on their journey toward healing and recovery personally and within their relationships.
Amy sees “the parts that are not working” in her client’s lives and relationships as an adaptation to pain and not pathology. She appreciates the resourcefulness in each of her clients. Amy seeks to work with her clients to understand their pain, have compassion for their adaptations to pain, to move out of rigid patterns, reconnect with their body and intuition, and use more effective ways to heal and recover from wounding/trauma.
Amy is trained in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model through APSATS (The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists) and is also trained through ADDO Recovery in Betrayal Trauma. Amy is trained in EMDR Therapy for trauma recovery and has focused training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). Amy incorporates Mindfulness and Self-Compassion throughout her work with clients.
Amy has a special interest in helping adult women who have experienced relational trauma/betrayal trauma through individual counseling as well as through groups by offering 6-week Betrayal Trauma Intensive courses for women.

“When we love our partner well, we offer a blueprint for a loving relationship to our children and their partners. Better relationships between love partners are not just a personal preference, they are a social good. Better love relationships mean better families. And better, more loving families mean better, more responsive communities.”
― Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” – Brené Brown
“We live in the shelter of each other.” — Celtic saying

“The most functional way to regulate difficult emotions in love relationships is to share them”.
