Overby, Amy

At my practice, I offer comprehensive therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families in the Atascadero area. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have over 19 years of experience guiding families through various challenges and fostering lasting positive change.
