About Amelia Amin
Dr. Amelia Amin is a fully licensed psychologist in the State of Michigan. She received her undergraduate education at the University of Illinois and went on to receive M.A. degrees from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University before earning a Ph.D. in psychology from Northwestern University in 2000. She has more than two decades of experience working with children and their families as a therapist and consultant and has extensive experience in evaluating children and adults with cognitive, academic and emotional difficulties. She has provided psycho-educational services at Great Lakes Academy since 2000 and works at the Children’s Orthogenic Institute in Troy, MI.
Unique Approach to Therapy
Connecting with each client is a vital part of my practice, unlike some providers in mental health, I view each person as important and not just “a number“. I find that checking in regularly with clients about their goals and current satisfaction helps foster a trusting client/provider relationship focused on individual growth. Also, I find it important to work with each person in identifying any barriers that may be present which could hinder therapy and medication from “doing their job“. I firmly believe that positive mental health and well-being does not happen in “a vacuum”, but many factors affect this, therefore a holistic approach is required to achieve lasting results.
Specialized & Extended Training
What makes Amelia Amin stand out is her high level of education and experience. She, along with all Start My Wellness therapists, attends at least 120 hours of extensive ongoing training and personal development per year in treating anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship problems. This rigorous instruction differentiates Ameila from others in the field and allows her to provide the highest quality of service to patients.
