Helping Individuals, Couples & Families
Amy Rinehart, LCSW, has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1995. She has worked in private practice since 2001 and opened her private practice, Rinehart Counseling Services, in 2011. She lives in Sarasota with her husband and 4 children. She has also been involved personally with adoption and surrogacy and found it to be very fulfilling.
Her education includes a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Mary Washington in 1993, an MSW from Boston University in 1995 and a B.S. in Computer Science from Muhlenberg College in 2000. In 1992, she traveled to London to study the difference between British and American approaches to psychotherapy. She focused her training on clinical skills with diverse populations including rape survivors, children with autism, pregnant and parenting teens and individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. This training gave her a broad scope of experiences to enrich her private practice.
In 1995, she moved back to Pennsylvania from her schooling in Virginia, Massachusetts and abroad and began working as a Primary Therapist at the Alternatives Partial Hospitalization Program of Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg. There she provided group and individual psychotherapy for individuals requiring intensive treatment as a step down from psychiatric hospitalization. Eventually she became the program’s Senior Therapist and then a Clinical Information Analyst where she worked to improve patient care throughout the Lehigh Valley Health Network. She continued to work for the Lehigh Valley Health Network until 2002 when she became pregnant with her first child. A year before leaving that position, she also began working in private practice at Bethlehem Counseling Associates until 2011 when she opened her own practice, Rinehart Counseling Services. In 2018 she moved to Sarasota, Florida and continued her practice through telehealth. She is currently licensed to provide telehealth services to both PA and FL residents.
Amy utilizes a cognitive behavioral approach to help individuals realize their full potential in life. Education is a personal value for her and she continues her training on an ongoing basis to stay up to date and current with best practices in treatment as she strives to meet individuals with warmth and compassion. She truly enjoys helping others and hopes to have the opportunity to meet you and work together with you to help you meet your life goals.
