Children, Adolescents, Adults & Families

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #1693) dedicated to guiding individuals, children, adolescents, adults, and families on their journey toward healing and growth. With a person-centered approach grounded in evidence-based practices, I aim to foster connections—with oneself, others, the community, and the environment.

With over a decade of experience as a trauma therapist in Laramie’s most restrictive school setting and simultaneously serving the community through my practice at Moonstone Wellness, I've developed expertise in addressing various challenges, including divorce, trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges and numerous mental health disorders.

My educational background includes a Bachelor's of Arts in Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education from the University of Wyoming (2007) and a Master's of Science in Community Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wyoming (2014). I am also nationally certified as a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (2020) and trained in CBITS: Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Trauma in Schools (2024).

Ongoing education and professional growth lie at the heart of my practice. I offer supervision to clinicians at Moonstone Wellness, fostering a secure environment for learning and discovery within our field—a vital component for delivering exceptional care.

I'm committed to helping individuals cultivate inner peace, confidence, and courage as they navigate their unique paths toward well-being. Whether you're facing challenges or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Children, Adolescents & Adults

Hello! I’m a Provisional Professional Counselor committed to supporting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I take a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to my work and I believe that all individuals are capable of positive change when provided the safety and support to do so. As such, I aim to help clients reconnect with themselves and recognize their own valuable wisdom.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Wyoming (2018) and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wyoming (2024). In order to provide effective and well-rounded service, I continuously seek new opportunities for learning and receive regular supervision.

I have worked with clients on a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life decisions, self-esteem, and more, with particular focus around experiences of domestic abuse, stalking, and sexual assault.

Approaching counseling from an integrative person-centered lens means our work will be tailored to your needs, and your process will be your own. I look forward to working with you as you embark on this trail of self-discovery, healing, and growth. I’m happy you’re here!

Children, Adolescents, Families & Groups

Welcome to Moonstone Wellness, where ethical and confidential support are my commitments to you. My name is Amy Sommerfeld, and I am a licensed professional counselor in Laramie, Wyoming. I have worked with children, adolescents, college-age individuals, and adults in a variety of therapeutic environments. My therapeutic approaches are client-centered, dialectical behavioral, or cognitive behavioral therapies based on understanding a client’s purpose and goals. These therapeutic sessions can be provided for individuals, families, couples, or in group settings.

My family and I moved to Laramie, Wyoming, in 2015 after traveling as a military family for 17 years. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education from The University of Akron (1995), certified as an English and Speech teacher. I hold two Master’s degrees: one in Education specializing in School Counseling and the other a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling. I have been in the education field for 17 years in elementary, middle, and high school settings.

I believe working with a client’s family and support system is an important piece in building healthy relationships. As a youth and family therapist, I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Moral Recognition Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Strength-Based Family Therapy. I have experience leading parenting classes and social, emotional, and behavioral groups for adolescents and adults. I also use play, art, and sand tray therapies for children.

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds to provide clinical treatment plans to help with a variety of mental health disorders. I am ready to provide you with the best possible treatment to achieve your purpose and goals for a meaningful future.

Adolescents & Adults

Welcome to Moonstone Wellness. If you are seeking to improve your overall wellbeing and want to learn more about yourself, I would be honored to work with you.

I seek to help clients find growth, balance, and connection from a person-centered, holistic approach with a focus on the mind-body connection. Nonjudgement, empathy, and curiosity are always part of the safe space I want to create for you.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents on many mental health concerns including mood disorders, trauma, childhood emotional neglect, life transitions, stress management, financial therapy, and identity.

I am a native of Wyoming, and after living in several other states, decided to return home to go back to school for a career change. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling in May 2023 and am now a Provisional Profession Counselor. I have experience working in community mental health.

Prior to becoming a counselor, I practiced law for twenty years. I love to travel and have been to over fifty countries. Part of why I love counseling is the challenge it provides to always be learning and focusing on my professional growth. I look forward to working with you.
