“I consider myself extremely blessed to have found Amy at what was, and continues to be, an extremely emotionally trying time in my life. Due to personal circumstances beyond my control, I found myself on the verge of slipping into a ‘funk’ that was beginning to take-over what remained of my  emotional well-being. I knew that I needed to make some major life changes in order to embrace this “new normal” my life had become, yet the process felt overwhelming. Enter Amy Ellowitz. Amy, in her infinite wisdom, created a Women’s Empowerment Group entitled “Girl You’ve Got This”. In reading it’s descriptive I felt compelled to not only join, but to embrace her approach and perspectives whole-heartedly. I find everything about Amy’s particular style of therapy extremely effective, informative, calming, challenging and even humorous at times. She has a special way of reaching the part of the old “me” that, until recently, I wasn’t too sure still existed. Somewhere in my mind I remembered the girl that smiled when the phone rang, that enjoyed meeting new people, and who loved playing her music daily . . . Yet, “that girl” got lost in a gloomy cloud of negative self-chatter, or perhaps even worse, she gave up giving a muck about pretty much anything! Until now. Naturally the process isn’t easy, but speaking for myself and some of the other phenomenal women who have also become dear friends, we are actively taking progressive steps to GET OUR HAPPY BACK! In other words, our personal growth and emotional transformation has been manifesting in some extraordinary ways thanks LARGELY in part to Amy!”

“I have been attending two of Amy’s support groups for over a year now. They are  wonderful additions to my life and every week I look forward to them immensely. Under Amy’s caring, clear leadership, both groups have become safe places to share and support one another. They are well-planned with a different focus each time, but with plenty of space for those present to share and discuss their experiences. Amy always has intelligent, kind wisdom to offer and a great sense of humor! I always leave the groups feeling better than when I had arrived. I hope they continue for a long time to come. Thank you Amy!”

“During the darkest time of my life, after my husband abruptly left our 23 year marriage, I was fortunate to be out walking with several friends and one of them happened to mention an experienced therapist, social worker and life coach who ran a support group that I might find helpful. At this point, I had tried almost everything to manage my intense grief including one-on-one therapy, antidepressants, self help books, frequent talks with friends, going on trips, daily exercise- basically everything that everyone says a person should do. But yet my sadness was spiraling out of control. I decided to sign up for her group (aptly named, ‘Girl, You’ve Got This.”) This group was incredibly comforting for me. First of all, Amy is excellent at directing the conversation along preplanned themes and giving every member a chance to speak from her experience and her heart. She definitely does her research because she comes into the group armed with quotes, recommended reading and even videos of inspirational speakers, all of  which are relevant to our evening topic. What I find most therapeutic is that while each member of the group is suffering a life change in one way or the other, we are all at different stages. In other words, when we are feeling strong we can mentor people who are new. If we are feeling weak, we can sit back and accept help from others. I’ve never failed to leave a group meeting feeling less hopeless than I did when I walked in. Amy has certainly created a community of women who are willing to wear their hearts on their sleeves and help each other through the darkness. I would wholeheartedly recommend giving her program a try. It may just be the thing that helps place you on a path to healing.”

“Going through my divorce, the last thing I wanted to do was sit among other people who were also going through a divorce. I’ve sat in on groups before, but this was especially hard for me to do. But when my sister talked me into joining a group, I took to the internet. I called several groups- even my local church- but what drew me into Amy’s group was her site that spoke to me.  All it said was, “Girl, you’ve got this.”  Those four words were all I needed to hear- the belief that  I really could get through this.

The main reason I stayed with this group of ladies was because we were all around the same age. The women there were going through a divorce like me; Some have been divorced; others were going through the process. The ladies were open, welcoming, and involved.  

I am not the type of person that joins a group to  just sit there, not voicing my opinion.  Amy was ok with that. In fact, she invited open dialog. The way Amy conducted the group sessions was always very different from one week to the next.  Sometimes we comforted one member who was going through a hard time.  In another session Amy would include resources that explored mindfulness.  

If someone asked me about Amy’s program, I would say go take a chance. Love you, Amy
