In Touch Counseling Center is a place where people are able to "reach their full potential today for success tomorrow"! These words perfectly sum up how I feel about every client I meet. I am Amy Fujino, the owner and primary clinician of this fabulous practice. I started in the field of mental health in 2005 and opened "In Touch Counseling Center" in the spring of 2022. Working with a wide range of individuals ages 6 to 75 has brought much joy, gratitude and robust learning for me as a therapist and person. My areas of great compassion are addressing struggles with anxiety, depression, self love, grief over loss and making meaningful change in life to improve quality of life. I absolutely love this work and every soul I meet! If you are in need of empathy, validation, guidance, compassion or skill development, look no further!

At In Touch Counseling Center LLC in Crystal Lake I provide individual, family and group therapy to individuals struggling with a multitude of struggles mentioned in my introduction and so many more! Sessions are typically 55 minutes and occur in my office for in person services and on the Zoom platform for Telehealth. Sessions are typically run on the hour and can be as structured or unstructured as the client is comfortable. Sessions begin with processing where the client feels they are struggling and mutually decided upon what the remainder of the session will look like. I never have a pre-planned agenda in individual or family sessions. I believe in meeting my client where they are at.
In Touch Counseling Center, LLC specializes in a variety of clinical issues from Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Grief over Loss, Low Self-Esteem/Worth and Life Stress. As of late, I have a particular desire to connect and help any individual who struggles with self love, irrational thinking about themself and healing from grief. Using concepts and skills from the CBT, DBT and motivation interviewing models serve to be very helpful and comforting clients have shared with me.
I entered the field of mental health after living a life full of ups and downs emotionally that led me to feel I was destined to be in a helping profession and as a tribute of all the support I received along my journey, I vowed to give back to anyone facing struggles similar to mine as an adolescent. Since adulthood, I have found that all peoples struggles are real and common, but they don't have to hold you back or kill your life aspirations, this is where my slogan "Reaching Your Potential Today for Success Tomorrow" came from. I truly believe we all have inherent goodness within us and deserve to have the best life we can create for ourselves. When you embrace therapy services with me, this is my pledge to you.
