Amanda Pearman
My name is Amanda Pearman, pronouns she/her/ella. I am Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. I received a Master's of Science in Multicultural Community Counseling from San Diego State University in 2016. I truly enjoy what I get to do and I am passionate about helping individuals heal and feel joy. I have experience working with children, parents, adults and couples. In my work with individuals, I do my best to work collaboratively and attune to needs and boundaries, so that each individual can make decisions grounded in their values/beliefs. In my work with children, I take a child-centered approach, using modalities such as play or talk therapy to help the child express their feelings and experiences that are often difficult to put into words.
I draw from a variety of treatment methods including person-centered, EMDR, family systems and cognitive behavior therapy.
First session
My primary goal is to collaboratively help you reach your goals. I want you to feel like you have agency in what your treatment looks like and that you feel empowered to improve your quality of life.
Strengths
I often explore the following topics in therapy: cognitive distortions, domains of wellness, existential issues, healthy communication, appropriate boundaries, and identifying values.
