Amy Stenger-Sullivan Biography

Amy Stenger-Sullivan, MA, LPCC-S, is a licensed professional clinical counselor-supervisor, certified trauma specialist, EMDR therapist, SoulCollage facilitator, and founder and lead steward of Rooted Compassion Counseling and Consulting, LLC, based in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. With more than three decades of combined experience in bodywork and mental health, Stenger-Sullivan leads a team of therapists dedicated to integrating Polyvagal Theory into trauma-informed care. Her practice is licensed across multiple states, including Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Arizona, reflecting the broad reach of her clinical work in trauma therapy and mental health services.

Stenger-Sullivan’s therapeutic approach is grounded in a biology-based understanding of healing, emphasizing that feelings are expressed first through the nervous system before being processed in the brain. As a certified trauma responsive counselor, she draws on interpersonal neurobiology, EMDR, somatic healing, and attachment science to support clients in achieving emotional safety, post-traumatic growth, and resilience. Her background as a massage therapist and bodyworker informs her expertise in the body-mind connection, offering a holistic perspective to mental health care and somatic therapy.

A significant chapter in Stenger-Sullivan’s career involved her work with Polyvagal Theory, which led her to join Deb Dana’s team as a senior trainer. This experience deepened her expertise and expanded her influence within the trauma-informed care field. Stenger-Sullivan has developed her own training series and is co-authoring a book on Polyvagal Theory and children’s therapy with Norton Publishing, underscoring her commitment to advancing trauma-informed practice for clinicians. She is also affiliated with the Rhythm of Regulation program and is a member of the American Counseling Association, Ohio Counseling Association, EMDRIA, and Greater Cincinnati Counseling Association.

As a speaker and educator, Stenger-Sullivan is known for making complex neuroscience and trauma theory accessible for clinicians across disciplines. Her "2-Day Certification Training: The Power of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Techniques for Trauma Recovery" has reached audiences nationally and internationally. In both clinical and educational settings, Stenger-Sullivan emphasizes the importance of understanding the nervous system as a gateway to healing in trauma therapy and mental health care.
