Meet Amy

Child Counselor & Therapist

Welcome! My name is Amy Badding. I am a child counselor and have been working with children and families in the Ames community since 2011. I am eager to be on this journey with you and your child. Having your child see a mental health professional can come with many mixed emotions. As a parent, it is not easy to allow another person into your child’s life to help them through life problems. My hope is that we will be on this journey together and navigate the best way to help your child lead a happy and healthy childhood.
