Amie Roe, LCSW

My name is Amie, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) psychotherapist with an online private practice for people in California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

I have a strong interest in helping those who struggle with the intense emotions and troubled relationships characteristic of personality disorders. I believe in this work because too often, people with BPD and NPD struggle for years before receiving a diagnosis and mental health care that truly helps. Not enough people (including some in the mental health field)  know that BPD has a good prognosis and can effectively be treated and that treatments for NPD are being studied and developed by dedicated, passionate professionals. More than anything, I want to bring more awareness and hope to those with BPD and NPD and the people who love and care for them.

I received my bachelors from Haverford College and my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Pennsylvania and have been working as a psychotherapist continuously since then. I’ve been dedicated to furthering my clinical education through supervision and formal study throughout my career. I received a postgraduate certificate in intersectional feminist relational psychotherapy from WTCI, an organization renowned for its pioneering work in the treatment of disordered eating through a feminist lens. I have studied and trained extensively in Mentalization-based Treatment (MBT), an evidence based treatment for personality disorders including BPD, through McLean Hospital and The Anna Freud Centre in the UK. I’ve been certified as a Supervisor in MBT through The Anna Freud Centre and am just one of under 20 professionals in the United States with this credential. I lead supervision groups and provide one-on-one supervision and consultation to other professionals looking to build confidence and skill in their execution of MBT. I have facilitated continuing education workshops on MBT and have served as an assistant in both the foundational MBT Basic training as well as the MBT for Pathological Narcissism training. 

I strive to deliver adherent, effective MBT therapy. This includes individual MBT sessions, group MBT sessions, and psychoeducational MBT-I sessions. I also offer adjunctive sessions for those who have loved ones with personality disorders, which draws on MBT and General Psychiatric Management (GPM) principles. 

In addition to being a therapist, I’m a mother and I moonlight as an improviser. I’ve been performing, teaching, and directing improv comedy for twenty years, and I offer workshops to mental health professionals integrating improv skills with clinical social work and mental health practice. I also love knitting, iced tea, Tori Amos, and Girl Scouting.
