Founder
LIGHT Movement
Amy Pickett-Williams, MSW, LCSW, RYT is a seasoned psychotherapist with over 25 years of expertise in grief and loss. Her career began in oncology and pediatric care, where she provided compassionate support to patients and families navigating the challenges of illness and death.
As she transitioned into community mental health, Amy broadened her focus to address various forms of loss—ranging from death and illness to relationship breakdowns, identity shifts, financial struggles, loss of sense of safety/peace, and more. This holistic approach led her to open her private practice, where she integrates somatic tools and therapies inspired by her study of yoga and mind-body-spirit/soul healing.
In 2023, with her personal and professional experiences, Amy founded LIGHT Movement. This transformative non-profit has reached thousands of people through offerings of donation-based yoga, workshops, training, retreats, and community support. The mission is to make somatic healing accessible to all people, helping individuals integrate their grief, rediscover purpose, and grow through their experiences. Through her work, Amy continues to bridge the gap between therapeutic counseling, yoga, and other somatic-based tools to offer powerful education and support that empowers people to grow from their grief and thrive.
