WELCOME TO ETHOS
Mental Health Counseling and EMDR Therapy for the challenges of being human.
Providing trauma-informed telehealth services in Washington and Idaho.
Specializing in emetophobia, anxiety, trauma, and OCD.
Amy Clark, LMHC
If you’re here, it’s likely because you or someone you care about is struggling with a phobia (specifically emetophobia or the fear of vomiting), the effects of trauma, anxiety, OCD, or something that no longer feels manageable on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
My role as a therapist is to guide you through this process. I believe therapy should be both clinically effective and compassionately supportive. I use evidence-based approaches that address the root causes of your issues and provide you with tools to help build your confidence. My goal is to support you not just in understanding what you’re going through—but in truly moving through it.
I’m a Certified EMDR Therapist with additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, I-CBT (an evidence-based treatment for OCD), and more. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace.
Services
-
Individual Counseling
My clients benefit from a compassionate, safe space where they feel free to be their authentic selves. I work with adult individuals on issues such as; anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, burnout, OCD, specific phobias and fears, life transitions, low self-worth, relationship dynamics, and more.
-
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a powerful form of therapy that helps our brains heal from trauma and adversity. Research has shown that it effectively treats a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias/fears, taking less time to do so than traditional talk therapy. I also provide consultation to EMDR-trained clinicians.
-
Phobias/Emetophobia
Phobias are a category of anxiety disorders that cause intense fear or panic about an object or situation. Emetophobia is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. It can make your world smaller by avoiding situations that you once enjoyed, isolating yourself from others, and feeling deeply uncomfortable in your own body.
Learn More About EMDR Therapy
“EMDR therapy targets the unprocessed memories that contain the negative emotions, sensations and beliefs. By activating the brain’s information processing system, the old memories can then be “digested.” Meaning what is useful is learned, what’s useless is discarded, and the memory is now stored in a way that is no longer damaging.”
Dr. Francine Shapiro, Founder of EMDR

EMDR is a powerful form of therapy that helps our brains heal from trauma, adversity, or other distressing events. It is recognized as a best practice for treating PTSD in combat veterans by the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense. However, you don’t need to experience PTSD to benefit from EMDR. Research has shown that it effectively and efficiently treats a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, OCD, and phobias, taking less time to do so than traditional talk therapy.

Phobias are a category of anxiety disorders that cause intense fear or panic about an object or situation. While I have treated a variety of phobias, I specialize in the treatment of Emetophobia, an often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and difficult-to-treat phobia. Emetophobia can make your world smaller by avoiding situations that you once enjoyed, isolating yourself from others, and feeling deeply uncomfortable in your own body.

EMDR Intensives provide faster results than the traditional therapy model. We are able to spend more time in processing, which allows us to address the root issue more effectively and efficiently.

If you are an EMDR-trained clinician seeking to further develop your skills, I offer consultation to help you build confidence in using EMDR across a range of presenting concerns, while strengthening your case conceptualization and treatment planning.
I’m an EMDR Consultant-in-Training (CIT) and provide consultation to EMDR-trained clinicians. For individuals seeking EMDR Certification, I can provide up to 15 hours required for certification.
The THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP between COUNSELOR and CLIENT is one of the MOST IMPORTANT factors in HEALING.
