Amy Ryu, AMFT

Amy Ryu, AMFT CA 164192, is an associate therapist based in Los Angeles, offering virtual and in-person therapy for individuals, couples, and families across California. Passionate about recovery, Amy began her clinical training at The Haven at College, where she worked with college students navigating substance use and mental health concerns. She currently works at Southern California Counseling Center (SCCC), a community mental health center, where she provides therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Amy is a relational and psychodynamic therapist who uses depth-oriented work to explore how past experiences shape present patterns, relationships, and ways of being. With a heart-centered approach, she views therapy as a space to shine light on difficult experiences, unravel shame, and connect with deeper emotional truths. Her approach draws from psychodynamic therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), alongside behavioral tools rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Amy’s goal as a therapist is to help clients better understand and integrate the different parts of themselves, creating greater self-awareness, authenticity, and a stronger sense of wholeness.
