My name is Amanda Stone and I am a bilingual, licensed mental health counselor. I have found that both in my personal life and in working with families, our experiences and surroundings impact how we view the world. We need the support of others to walk through the valleys that life brings. We were created to experience a healed and whole life, and I am excited to join you on this journey.
In our first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we can get to know each other. I will share my therapeutic approach and listen to your story, concerns, and goals. Together, we'll discuss how we can work collaboratively to achieve your desired outcomes. My aim is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we begin this journey together.
In our sessions together, you can expect a mix of humor, solid support, and encouragement. I'm all about affirming your strengths and empowering you. But, fair warning, I won't shy away from gently pushing you to grow and face challenges. It's a journey we'll take together—one that blends a friendly atmosphere with the motivation to help you discover more about yourself.
I utilize CBT to empower clients in transforming the thoughts that impact their behavior patterns.
I utilize EMDR to assist clients in identifying core beliefs and memories that increase their levels of distress.
I am experienced in MI to enhance client motivation and change.
