Amanda was very helpful and matter of fact. This was the first time I have talked to a therapist. I am happy that I found her.

I already wrote a review before, but Dr. Shull is helping me immensely with my career plan and brainstorming ideas and sharing her expertise from her extensive experience in the education world. She's providing insight, guidance, and accountability which is exactly what I need right now. Thanks so much!

I was interested in working with Dr. Shull because of her background/experience/schooling/degrees and specifically because of the career coaching aspect of her practice. My biggest challenge right now is figuring out what I want to do next and work through possibilities. She has extensive knowledge that she's happy to share and even though it's only been two sessions so far she's given me ideas, encouragement, and guidance. I'm looking forward to continuing to process and brainstorm together!
