My Approach & Theoretical Orientation

My approach to therapy at Crystal Skies Counseling is Trauma Informed and Client Centered. I have been working in the Mental Health/Addictions field since 2012, after graduating from the master's program at MSU-B in Mental Health & Rehabilitation Counseling. I understand that life can be challenging at times, and having someone to guide you on your journey can make a difference. Whether you are coping with the loss of a loved one, dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, or other concerns, I'm here to help and support you. At Crystal Skies Counseling, I employ a variety of therapies tailored to each client's unique needs. Some of the treatment modalities I utilize include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Trauma Focused approaches, Stress Reduction Techniques, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

My Story

I was born and raised in Billings, Montana, and I cherish the beauty of Big Sky Country. I count my blessings daily and feel grateful to be surrounded by family and friends. I take pleasure in the arts, cinema, music, laughter, and quality time with my loved ones. My passion for helping others has grown through my personal life struggles, giving me a compassionate perspective on life. I believe that the challenges I've faced have imparted valuable lessons, helping me become humble, empathetic, and tenacious in everything I do. If you are searching for a counselor with these qualities, I invite you to consider Crystal Skies Counseling; I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and assist you or your loved one.

Amy Vicars was trained in EMDR at The Morrissey Institute.

What is EMDR?

What does EMDR Treat?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an effective treatment for trauma, and at Crystal Skies Counseling, we specialize in this approach. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help process painful memories that seem to be stuck in the nervous system in their original emotional state. While it can be compared to REM sleep, you remain fully conscious throughout the entire process. EMDR therapy can be particularly beneficial for adults who have experienced trauma.

What does EMDR Treat?

According to EMDRIA, "Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post-traumatic stress." At Crystal Skies Counseling, we also recognize that EMDR Therapy can effectively address a variety of other conditions, including: "Panic Attacks, Complicated Grief, Dissociative Disorders, Disturbing Memories, Phobias, Pain Disorders, Performance Anxiety, Stress Reduction, Addictions, Sexual and/or Physical Abuse, Body Dysmorphic Disorders, and Personality Disorders." http://www.emdria.org

More about Trauma

ACE'S - Adverse Childhood Experiences

Your unique experiences shape who you are and significantly affect the people around you. Some ways trauma can manifest in your life include nightmares, flashbacks, sleep problems, hypervigilance, and trouble concentrating. At Crystal Skies Counseling, EMDR therapy is available to help you target and process trauma. While the memory itself won't disappear, EMDR can transform your perspective on the incident and provide valuable insight.
