Hi, I’m Amy Lewis Bear!

When your relationship is difficult, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I can help you find clarity, trust yourself, and feel like you again.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people identify and break unhealthy relationship patterns and rebuild a strong sense of self in their relationships.

Are your dreams

Are your dreams for your career and life thwarted by loving someone who does or says things that hurt you and it’s making you feel:

Unhappy couple
  • Oppressed, frustrated, anxious, and depressed
  • Isolated from family and friends because of how your partner treats you, and you just don’t feel good about yourself
  • Shame about what’s going on in the relationship and worry that it’s your fault
  • Hopeless because no matter what you do, nothing seems to work, and nothing seems to change
  • Distracted when you’re trying to get your work done or express your creativity
  • Just plain lost and disconnected from your joy and authentic self

I get it and I’m here to help you find the wisdom in your pain! 

Yes, I am wise

“Yes, I am wise. But it’s wisdom born of pain. Yes, I’ve paid the price but look how much I’ve gained. If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong. I am invincible. I am woman.”

~ Helen Reddy (1941-2020)

Hi, again!

Amy Lewis BearHi, again!
I’m Amy Lewis Bear.

I will help you understand what you’re going through in your relationship and find your path forward.

My personal experience in overcoming a 10-year emotionally abusive relationship and 18+ years as a therapist is what I use to empower my clients. The insights and wisdom I gained through my painful experience freed me to achieve deep fulfillment and thrive in my career, life, and intimate relationship. I specialize in helping women transform their lives just as I did.

I’m YOUR compassionate guide

I’m YOUR compassionate guide who is here to help you:

  • Understand why your relationship went from charm to harm
  • Discover the reasons why your partner speaks to you and treats you in hurtful and upsetting ways
  • Realize the debilitating impact your partner’s mistreatment has on your sense of self
  • Identify and resolve the reasons why you partnered with a person who mistreats you
  • Own that you’re a unique and precious woman who deserves to be loved and treated with respect
  • Recover your sense of self that you feel may have been lost
  • Make an empowered decision whether to stay or leave the relationship
  • Establish rock-solid boundaries to be treated with the respect you deserve in your relationships
  • Identify a partner’s less obvious emotional distancing behaviors that leave you feeling hurt and wondering if you’re to blame
  • Acquire the wisdom and confidence to pursue your goals and aspirations in life

Beyond healing – I’ll provide you with a roadmap and guide you through a transformative experience where you can become your truest and most empowered self.

Let’s get to know each other

What if you had as much confidence

I can provide you with a place to slow down, make sense of things, and come back to yourself.

My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to your experience.

In our work together, you’ll find:

  • A calm, grounded space where you can speak freely
  • Thoughtful insight into confusing dynamics
  • Support in reconnecting with your identity and inner voice
  • Guidance that helps you feel clearer, not more overwhelmed
“If it wasn’t for you (Amy), I wouldn’t have seen my way clear. I never would have known what was happening in my relationship. His threats have no power anymore, once I knew the truth.”
“In therapy with Amy, I learned to face my fears and take power from it. I learned to react to my husband’s abuse with my authentic, powerful self.”
“I realized how I succumbed to him because of my own critical voice. I was giving up who I was because I feared being rejected. The person I’m getting back is better than the person I left.”

When Loving You Means Losing Me: How to Escape the Echo Complex and Reclaim Your Sense of Self

A clear path back to the self for every person who feels they have become lost in their relationship.

People enter relationships looking for love, safety, and fulfillment. But sometimes closeness takes a dark turn. One partner fears intimacy and mistreats the other, first subtly, then openly. The hurt partner, confused and in pain, adopts behaviors meant to appease, desperate to regain affection or keep the peace. Gradually, they become a reflection—or echo—of their partner’s fear and fall into a trap of losing themselves.
