AMITY: Friendly or peaceful relationships.
Amity-Consulting was developed by Chandler Hoffman, Psy.D. to assist individuals and families considering or going through divorce and family reorganization. Amity-Consulting was conceived with the intention to improve the circumstances of families going through divorce by offering consultation, psychotherapy, and mediation. Dr. Hoffman acts as the principle consultant and provides the direct services and educational trainings for our clients.
