Meet Amy Zulko | Licensed Professional Counselor – Associate

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amy Zulko and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amy, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Practicing grace and self-compassion has carried me a long way in my career. Understanding that not everything goes as planned – and that can be a blessing – shifted how I approached my personal and professional goals.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a Counselor, and I specialize in trauma and substance use/co-occurring disorders. Being able to hold space for people trying to navigate the most challenging times in their lives is something I don’t take lightly, and I’m truly humbled by each client who walks in my door. I try to live as authentically as possible, shortcomings and all, because I can’t show up that way in session if I’m not walking the same path outside of it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Our office is on The Waterway – so we’d start there! It’s gorgeous, and there are so many incredible restaurants and pubs nearby to keep us entertained. Then, we’d jump over to Market Street for some retail “therapy” and a nightcap at Hughes Landing. I’d make a point to head over the Grogan’s Mill for the Saturday Farmers Market and catch a yoga class at Woodlands Yoga Studio. Then a coffee at Third Wave and some book shopping at Buy the Book.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
This is dedicated to my Dad, whom I owe so much of what I’ve become. His unwavering support and commitment to seeing me succeed (even when I didn’t want to) is why I’m here today. Love you, Dad!
