Amelia West

AKA: Your Favorite

Good Therapist Gone Rogue

Hey there! - I'm Amelia 🤘🏻✨
Empathetic listener plus boundary pusher. Healing hearts one rebellion at a time. Unconventional wisdom for radical transformation.

If you don't already know me, you're about to meet your soon-to-be favorite Good Therapist Gone Rogue!

Picture this: three endlessly creative teens keeping life interesting, a loyal dog wagging her tail through every adventure, and me - a single mom with equal parts chaos and calm. I've spent years learning how to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs (#TraumaIsntAllBad lol), and now I help others do the same.

My Story (a quick rewind)

I grew up in upstate New York as the oldest of three - and the big sister to two Deaf siblings. (Yep! I'm fluent in ASL - American Sign Language.) My childhood taught me how to live between worlds - to listen differently, interpret deeply, and stay endlessly curious about how people express who they are.

By the time I moved from New York to Indiana my junior year of high school (thanks, Mom and Dad... insert teen Amelia's dramatic eye roll 😅), it was my eighth school relocation. Each move taught me how to tear down my world and rebuild it - fast. I learned to adapt quickly, make connections easily, and find meaning wherever I landed. Indiana, for all its lessons and growing pains over the past couple of decades, deepened my endurance and grounded my understanding of people and place.

Now, I'm following the call to Northern California, where I'll be chasing sunsets, breathing fresh ocean air, and losing myself in the redwoods - always answering the invitation to become more of who I'm meant to be.

My heart beats for nature, hiking adventures, salty ocean breezes, and getting lost in artistic creations. Whether it’s solving puzzles, channeling the energy of crystals, or bringing stories to life in musical theater, I dive all the way in. I bring the same energy - curiosity, depth, and creative fire - to every session and conversation.

What I do...

After more than a decade as a school counselor, mental health therapist, and coach, I realized what really lights me up isn't just healing the past - it's helping people grow into who they are meant to be.

That's why I went rogue.

Now, I blend psychology, Human Design, and a little bit of rebellion to help humans break out of old patterns and step into radical self-trust.

Depending on where you are in your journey, that might look like:

-✨ A Human Design Reading to help you understand how you're uniquely built to move through life - in business, in parenting, in partnership.

-🌿 Growth & Mindset Coaching to move beyond old stories and align with your next evolution.

-💼 Self Pay Secrets - my signature course for therapists and healers in the service industry ready to build thriving, self-pay practices with freedom and integrity.

No matter how you work with me, the heart of it is the same: I help you remember who you are and trust it fiercely.

So, why work with me? Simple. Because I walk the same path I teach. Every day, I practice what I call "radical becoming" - shedding what doesn't fit, embracing what does, and growing through it all with humor, honesty, and a little rebellion.

If you're craving clarity, confidence, or just a reminder that you're not broken - you're becoming - you're in the right place.

🔥 Ready to burn down what's not you and rise into what's next?! Let's do this. 🔥

Ever feel like you're juggling a thousand roles? I definitely do. With a career spanning over a decade as a school counselor, mental health therapist, business coach, and life coach, I've guided teens and young adults through life's labyrinth in residential group homes, emergency rooms, schools, and even my cozy private practice. You name it, I’ve probably been there!

But wait, there’s a plot twist! While I've cherished every moment helping others heal from trauma with some pretty nifty creative practices up my sleeve, I found a new calling—coaching. Why coaching, you ask? Think of it as being a fairy godparent mixed with a motivational guru! Instead of just mending what's broken, I get to help you discover what’s awesome about you and how to make it even better.

And here's my secret weapon: Human Design. Imagine having a personalized blueprint of how you function best. Whether you're a curious kiddo, a teen on the brink of greatness, or an adult still trying to figure it all out, Human Design helps you level up by understanding *who* you're truly meant to be in this wild world.

Looking for a more personal connection? Let me share some fun facts about myself…

I'm a coach with a diverse background and a unique blend of experiences.

My journey includes a mix of different cultures and lifestyles, giving me a well-rounded perspective that I bring into my coaching. Whether it's embracing the simplicity of life's small pleasures or valuing the sophistication of high-end experiences, I combine various elements to create a unique coaching style. Expect me to be straightforward yet approachable, blending different elements of my personality to guide you.

I started as an introvert, initially overwhelmed by the thought of establishing my own business.

Imagine the kind of introvert who would rather curl up and escape into the world of their favorite TV series than face the daunting task of starting a business. That was me. Now, I'm redefining what it means to be an effective leader, coach, mentor, and entrepreneur, breaking stereotypes along the way.

In my previous endeavors, I've worn many hats - from technical roles in groundbreaking projects to co-founding a startup, and even diving into the world of digital marketing with a focus on innovative technologies. My diverse background has shaped me into a well-rounded individual who loves to learn and grow.

Family is at the core of everything I do.

This is why I'm so passionate about empowering others to build their businesses. It's about creating the freedom to live life on your own terms and being there for the ones you love. For me, my family is my world, including my beloved pets.

A significant turning point in my life was a series of family health crises. These challenging times were a wake-up call, pushing me to overcome my fears and take the leap into entrepreneurship. The desire to be there for my family during critical moments was a powerful motivator, driving me to where I am today.

Switching gears to a more formal tone, for those who appreciate a professional overview...

I am the founder of a coaching platform dedicated to empowering individuals in their transition from being an employee to becoming a successful entrepreneur, guiding them to scale their businesses to impressive heights. My expertise has enabled countless clients to kickstart their entrepreneurial journey, achieve their first significant earnings, and elevate their businesses to six- and seven-figure successes. My work and insights have been recognized and featured in numerous esteemed online and print media outlets, including well-known publications like Forbes, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur. Holding a degree from a prestigious university, where I specialized in a highly technical field, I blend academic rigor with real-world business acumen. Based in a vibrant city, I balance my professional life with personal joys, sharing my home with my supportive spouse and our lively German Shepherd.
