Welcome,
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. My name is Amy Blanchard and I am a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Cupertino, CA. I provide psychotherapy and consultation to adolescents, adults, and couples who are experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral difficulties.
In psychotherapy I strive to create a collaborative relationship with clients that fosters growth and behavioral change. I work with clients to identify maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, to find more adaptive ways of thinking and functioning, and to take responsibility for their own growth.
I have three areas of special interest that I focus on in my practice. The first is in assisted reproductive technology, third-party reproduction, and adoption. In addition to psychotherapy with this unique population, I conduct psychological evaluations on prospective ovum donors, gestational carriers, and on prospective adoptive parents.
As both an adoptee and someone who has direct experience with ART, I bring a degree of understanding and empathy to my work which someone without this experience may lack.
My second area of interest is in working with adolescents and adults who have ADD/ADHD. I provide screening and psychotherapy for this population. In addition, I work with adults who have an ADHD partner to help them cope with the challenges that living with ADHD brings.
My third area of interest is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I was trained by Francine Shapiro, Ph.D. in the early 90's and recently completed training with Laurel Parnell, Ph.D. I use it on a regular basis in my practice, both with existing clients and clients who come in specifically for EMDR.
