Meet Dr. Amy

Dr. Amy Langsam is a licensed clinical psychologist who treats women who struggle with infertility, parenting-related challenges and transition to motherhood, perinatal mood disorders, eating disorders, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression.

Dr. Amy believes that the most important element of effective psychotherapy is a trusting relationship between the client and therapist. She takes a collaborative, supportive, and empathetic approach to therapy. She is intensively trained in Dialetical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and often utilizes this approach in treatment. Additionally, she integrates Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and client-centered interventions into her practice that are empirically supported to provide symptom relief. 

Her vast experiences involve working in a variety of settings, including several hospitals and college counseling centers, some including the University of Pennsylvania, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Drexel University. She has held positions at some of the country’s most renowned inpatient eating disorder treatment facilities, including The Renfrew Center. Princeton Medical Center, and The Women’s Program at Princeton House Behavioral Health.

In addition to her practice, Dr. Amy serves as an adjunct professor of Psychology at La Salle University, where she supervises graduate students in the Weight and Eating program. She will soon publish her first book, The Third Layer of the Cake, a children’s story explaining how families are built through the role of surrogacy.

Dr. Amy is a graduate of American University in Washington, D.C., and received her master’s degree and Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) from La Salle University with a concentration in health psychology.

She resides outside of Philadelphia with her husband and children and enjoys staying active through tennis, yoga, and time outdoors with her family.
