About me
Hi. My name is Amy L Settles. I have been a clinical social worker in Oklahoma City, Ok. for 35 years. I have worked with many teenagers throughout my career. I have specialized training in treating Sexual Abuse. I also have numerous hours of training in the areas of Death and Dying, treating Trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Attention Deficit Disorder/ Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I use evidence based modalities including , cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapies , mindfulness, and family of origin based interventions. Together your teen and I can explore their psychological/emotional needs so that I can help them in whatever it is that may be troubling them. I will work with them by actively listening to them as well as you as their parent(s). Together we will process what is going on in their life and discuss other options to look at and try. I will give relevant feedback so they can continue processing it throughout their therapy journey and beyond.

Amy is awesome!!!
Amy’s counseling sessions are the right balance of empathetic listening and practical insight. She is able to meet me where I am at emotionally and be understanding, but she also calls me out when I’m in an old pattern of unhealthy coping or spiraling in my thoughts. She offered very helpful breathing exercises and evidence-based, healthy coping skills for processing my legal anxiety as well as daily stress little stuff.
My wife and I have been seeing Amy for a year now. We came to her broken and as a last resort to save our marriage. Amy helped us put the pieces back together one session at a time. She patiently taught us new tools to not only repair our marriage, but move forward successfully in a much healthier manner. My wife and I are extremely difficult people. Amy’s no non sense approach was simple, to the point, and just what we needed. I can honestly say that we are better in so many facets of our relationship than ever before. She’s the best and we are so grateful for her help!
Amy is absolutely amazing. She is very straightforward and honest. Which is exactly what I need
Amy has been a godsend. She's firm when she needs to be, but is also gentle and understanding. She started out as my marriage counselor, and became my personal counselor when my marriage counseling did not work out. I would recommend her to anyone I possibly could. It's like talking to an old friend most of the time. That's how comfortable she makes the whole experience.
Amy is truly an exceptional therapist. She has an incredible ability to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where I feel completely understood and valued. Her warmth and compassion, combined with her insightful guidance, have made such a positive impact on my life. Amy has helped me navigate challenges with clarity and self-compassion, and I always leave our sessions feeling more empowered and grounded. I’m so grateful for her expertise and care—she’s been a life-changing presence in my journey. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a kind, empathetic, and skilled therapist.
She’s great
Great Therapist. Listens and responds well! Straight forward!
Amy is awesome awesome. I hate that I waited so long to contact her again
One of the best therapists I have encountered and had the pleasure of speaking with! Very insightful!
Courteous, professional, easy to communicate with.
Amy is kind but also firm. She has really helped my partner and I talk about the hard things with honesty. She takes time to address both of our thoughts and feelings. I would definitely recommend her, and really appreciate her candor.
Amy is very easy to talk to
Amy is honest and to the point, which is needed and incredibly helpful. I feel hope I’m an area of life that I haven’t seen light in for a very long time.
She is very empathetic.
Amy has really been a true contributor to my healing journey. She’s helped me figure out my childhood trauma and how it affects me today. She’s opened my eyes to things I never realized and has helped me find joy in my life. I highly recommend Amy!
She has been instrumental in us getting back in the right path.
Nice and warm while still calling me out when needed. I appreciate her alot.
Amy is incredible! I am so much happier since I began seeing her. She is not afraid to tell me the truth and always has my best interest in mind. I could not recommend her more!
She has been great and has helped me work thru some things.
Amy is amazing, easy to talk to, and just a great therapist for me while trying to make improvements on myself. Thank you, Amy
My wife and I have been talking to Amy Settles for about a year. We were dealing with relationship issues and some mental health problems. Things are so much better for both of us thanks to her excellent guidance and encouragement. She is tough with us when she needs to be even when it is uncomfortable for us. Still she remains a staunch advocate for our positive wellbeing. We are very grateful for the help she gives us and can recommend her sincerely.
She’s focused, concise, and not afraid to yank your leash a little. I would recommend her.
Amy is an amazing therapist & I’m lucky i found someone that can keep it real with me, make me laugh, and make me feel heard. She’s amazing and intelligent and I brag about her to my friends.
We got matched with Amy and could not be happier with the care we are receiving! We know that we have a journey of growth together but we happy that we have Amy guiding us on it!
She is a great therapist!
Amy is very nice and helpful she listens to me, she gives great advice
My life was turned upside down when I first met Amy ….. I was in a long term relationship with a narcissist. She has helped me on the journey of ending the relationship, getting my life back and has also helped me begin the process of healing the wounds that occur in such a relationship. She brings the best me out and helps me see the beauty within myself. I highly recommend her for recovery from abuse. She can help you get on the good path that leads to better days ahead.
Amy is absolutely AMAZING in every single way. Coming into therapy, we did not know what to expect and were incredibly nervous about the process and if this would actually "work" for us. From the start, Amy has been the most honest and intentional therapist and has made an incredibly tough situation feel so easy to navigate and grow from. Our weekly sessions have been constructive, MUCH NEEDED, and 100% worth it.
So much progress has been made in such a short time, and it is all because of Amy! I will recommend her to anyone who is seeking counseling and will continue to go to her. She has become someone that we look forward to sharing the good and bad news with, knowing that she will show support and give the best guidance no matter the circumstance.
I could not recommend her enough and hope that everyone gets to work with someone like her in their lifetime.
Amy makes us stop and think about things we normally wouldn’t consider.
Amy has helped us and our relationship immensely. It was very difficult at first, but as we continued sessions, we have seen much improvement. She’s helped us navigate many significant issues weighing on us personally and in our relationship.
I feel like Amy is very helpful. I like feeling like I’m heard and understood and hearing feedback from and outside perspective.
She's been super helpful in helping me with school stress and learning to cope with my ADHD.
I've only just started my journey with Amy, but from what I know so far she seems to be a very caring person who sees you as you are. She's supportive and protective of the people she talks with and helps you find confidence in who you are.
Amy doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She tells you how it is, which is great for me. I love her personality, and I look forward to meeting with her every week!
Amazing!
Amy is a therapist with a strong sense for support. She is direct but caring and logical. Every time I speak with her I receive guidance or wdvice I never would have thought of. She is certainly skillful and easy to work with.
Amy is wonderful and kind and really listens
Amy listens so well and gives you the best advice. She got me out of a very dark spot in my life when I needed it the most.
Amy is an amazing counselor. She listens to me and gives me great feedback. She’s also somebody who won’t put up with any bull. She’s a great listener and is great at knowing when I begin to become uncomfortable or anything.
Amy is truly amazing. By far the best therapist I’ve had. She has helped me tremendously through a rough patch in life and always encouraging. I’m thankful for all of her support.
Amy is great! She really understands difficulties of life the struggles and just really pushes you to do better!
She’s an awesome therapist with a lot of knowledge
Amy is very supportive and has effectively guided me through some difficult aspects in my marriage. She is easy to talk with, which has given me practical solutions to apply. Because of Amy’s help and understanding, I am feeling better and able to cope more effectively in my daily life.
I don’t make myself a priority that includes my mental health. When I don’t schedule, or forget an appt, or don’t reach out in a while, she reaches out and pushes me like I need.
I feel like we are just having a conversation over tea rather than an appt.
Amy is such a kind soul. She listens intently and pushes you to continue your growth to becoming as mentally healthy as possible. 10/10 would recommend. ✨
She asks questions and she’s willing to listen to the answer. She gives straight forward answers and expresses her concerns about whatever it is you need to talk to her about.
