LMHC, 8 years of experience
When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time. I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.
It is EXTREMLY important for you to get your intake paperwork in 24-48 hours before your session, so that I can have a chance to thoroughly review it before our first session together and ensure that we're a fit to work together before officially beginning therapy together. In our first session I will get to know you and ask a lot of questions regarding both mental health and physical health. I also allow for questions you may have towards the end of our session.

Client who want to work on personal development and emotional management. I work with a diverse clientele, including teenagers aged 13 and up, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I focus on individuals seeking to improve their self-awareness and change their current life patterns. To assist clients in managing their emotions effectively and understanding their feelings on a deeper level. I believe that by equipping individuals with the right tools and strategies, we can empower them to foster positive changes in their lives.
CBT works great for those who enjoy having some work between sessions.
Allows the client to come to their own conclusions them self.

I enjoy speaking with Amanda, she is very easy to get along with, understands me, and what my needs are. I do not feel pressure when speaking with her and it's very easy to be open and honest.
