About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California with a Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology. I have been working as a therapist for over 21 years. I have worked in outpatient as well as inpatient settings, including hospitals, clinics, group homes, and private practice. Many of my couples are high achieving people who find themselves surprised to be struggling with a problem. By drawing upon their strengths, I assist them in making meaningful changes that can make a significant difference in their lives. I often hear from couples and families who are in distress and afraid that their relationships may be beyond repair. Their communication has broken down, the trust may have been broken, and quality time together may be almost nonexistent. I also frequently see strong couples and families that may be facing trauma or a crisis and just need a little help to guide them towards new solutions or better coping. I believe in working collaboratively with couples and families to discuss problems safely without fear or judgment. My goal as your therapist is to help you discover a style of communication that helps everyone in the relationship be heard. My treatment approach is to provide solutions through support and helpful feedback to assist my clients with confronting these challenges or their roadblocks to success and helping them achieve a harmonious relationship.
Reaching out is the first step toward feeling better, I am glad you are here. How can I help?

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Amy Clayton. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Exceptional! Saved my life
Dr. Clayton is really amazing! I love her short term solution focused techniques. She does not spend lots of session going through and rehashing the past, but instead focuses on what to do about issues right now. Also she has a great personality; she is good listener with some humor. I would (and have) recommended her!
