Hello there! Do you ever feel as though there is much on your mind but no one to share it with? Like no one will understand what it is that you have to say? Are your thoughts and feelings leading to you feeling alone, depressed, or anxious? Or perhaps you've experienced trauma in your life and it is not resolved? Let me be the one to listen, support, and assist you in your journey. My name is Amanda Lewis, LMFT and I have 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, PTSD, ODD, job stress, relationship and communication issues, as well as woman's issues. You'll find that in therapy, I use a warm, non-judgmental, empathetic approach so that you feel safe while allowing me to provide not only support, but skills to assist you in healing and finding a new hope in your life- whether it is work, school, family, or relationships.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, I will work to get to know you and why you're seeking therapy, and then we will work to make goals you would like to reach while in therapy- it is us collaborating together. Afterwards, future sessions look like me providing a safe space for you to communicate, learn skills, heal and grow.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and I use a variety of modalities in my practice such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Strategic Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to name a few. Mindfulness, meditation, coping skills, identifying and challenging those negative thoughts are all tools I utilize in therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Proving a safe, nonjudgmental space with empathy and compassion are my biggest strengths. I feel that working in an array of populations has led to my developing an understanding of others as well as having training in TF-CBT, areas of cultural competency, and viewing things openly and with a curious mind.
