“I began seeing Dr. Vail around 10 years ago while I was in high school. She helped me through some of my hardest times by offering me her unconditional support and thoughtful guidance. She provided me with a safe space to work through what, at the time, seemed like and insurmountable plethora of troubling thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These things were not insurmountable, though. I navigated them thanks to the help from a fantastic clinical psychologist.

Not only did she help me heal, she also inspired me. I am currently in the process of becoming a clinical psychologist myself. I am taking classes and learning through hands on clinical work, and I am learning that Dr. Vail is so good at what she does because she possesses the inherent skills and traits that cannot be taught. Among many things, she is kind, compassionate, intuitive, and thoughtful. If you cannot already tell by my testimonial, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Amy Vail.”

“Dr Amy Vail helped our family through the toughest part of our lives. Our daughter was struggling while we were on holiday in Tahoe City. We got referred to Dr Vail by a counselor in ER. She took full ownership of the situation and guided us when we felt totally helpless. Amy is kind, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. She was quick to diagnose the symptoms and directed us to appropriate doctors in the area immediately. She was available whenever we needed her and she held our daughter's hand till the acuteness passed. After we left Tahoe, Amy continued therapy and helped us find doctors and therapists through her professional contacts around where our daughter lives and transitioned her care. We are fortunate we found Dr Vail. She guided us through the hardest phase in our lives as parents with warm and compassion that our daughter needed. We all are very grateful.”
