In her clinical practice, Amy Kreins, PhD, delivers Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments to adults and teens with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment problems, such as anxiety, depression, aging, and relationship problems. She builds on an individual’s strengths and individualizes therapy to each person’s needs. She believes that psychotherapy can help individuals most effectively use their resources to increase self-understanding, to improve decision-making, to solve problems, and to create paths to the lives they want. Her approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental. Dr. Kreins owns and runs a group practice located in the Craig Ranch neighborhood in southwest McKinney, Texas.
