"Talking to Amy-Noelle feels like talking to an old friend who is completely safe and ready to hear what's going on in your life. I am someone who doesn't open up easily so this is imperative for any therapist I choose to see. Empathy is equally important to me because I need to feel as that no matter what I bring up, no matter how shameful or even insignificant, it is safe to expose. Of course, the first time you are vulnerable with a therapist is when you discover just how non-judgmental they truly are. With Amy-Noelle, vulnerability is celebrated in a way that makes you feel empowered for digging that deep to expose something shameful. She then delicately helps you carry your vulnerability about a given issue and, together, you arrive at the heart of the matter. All of this together is what progressing in your life and living wholeheartedly is all about. Amy is a dependable thought partner who will guide you to your truest self and help you on your quest for true connection with yourself and the relationships you care about most in your life."

"In a culture where "life coaches" and therapists are a dime a dozen, it can be difficult to sift through the random list of options your current insurance deems within their network. The process of searching for a therapist who can guide us back to our best self, someone who can reflect our own life lessons so that we can make healthy choices and heal our relationships, is daunting."

I feel more confident to take risks in my relationships and career, and most importantly, remain true to myself. Anyone searching for someone who can truly listen, someone who is both compassionate and genuinely kind, would be lucky to have Amy Shih in their lives."

"It comes with no surprise that the meaning of “Amy” is synonymous with “beloved” (dearly loved, adored, highly regarded) and so it is with my cherished conscious parenting colleague, Amy-Noelle. Personally, Amy-Noelle is an incredibly devoted mother who is raising a bright light (her son, Bay) and through their Divine oneness, they are enlightening each soul that crosses their path through their infectious spirit. Her love for her son exudes through every fiber of her being. This inevitably translates into the impact she makes with each of her clients equally. Amy’s intuit gift of “knowing” and connection makes her beyond exceptional as a therapist. She offers her clients a safe and trusting place to land with her warmth, heart and trusting guidance. Her ability to help one heal and deepen their self-awareness is both transformative and liberating. To be in the company of Amy-Noelle, is as natural as being with a friend who holds the space for you as you unfold -- free of judgment."

"I have learned so much from Amy-Noelle and believe that I was led to her for a reason. Amy-Noelle is one of those rare individuals who truly cares and believes in your inner power. She has an amazing ability to help you uncover your authentic qualities, allowing you to recognize your extraordinary potential to live in plenitude. She is also sensitive to cultural differences (I'm Brazilian.) I will always be grateful for her deep comprehension of my life. I have great respect and admiration for this uniquely-gifted woman. Her impactful personality and positive energy are both healing and contagious!"

I found Amy-Noelle after being hit by an emotional bus -- unexpected, incredibly painful. She helped me hold steady while I pieced my life back together. She never failed to impress me with her rare combination of warmth, kindness, insight, and sensitivity to the issues I was facing - all without judgment. She has an amazing way of listening and drawing out information that helps identify viable solutions to whatever challenges may be in the way. She also provides insight and information that helped expand my thinking. So many times after spending time with her I felt calm and uplifted. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a counselor/coach/therapist.
