Haya Healing and Mental Health Services, PLLC
Hello! I am Amanda, counselor of 15 years, wife of 17 years, and mother for 10 years and counting. I have been a resident of the North Austin area for the last five years and am a Texas native, though I did spend some time growing up in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. I am active in my son’s school, my church and my community which I am happy to call home. I have worked in domestic violence shelters, residential programs for children, with Child Protective Services, and in Private Practice. For many years I have had the privilege of joining my clients in the process of change. We go through so much in our lives. Love, loss, stress and anxieties shape who we are. I respect the courage that it takes to look at these things and seek growth and change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First sessions are a change for us to get to know each other. I take the opportunity to discuss with you what you are looking for in therapy and answer any questions you might have, and ensure that I am a good fit for what you are looking for in a therapist.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am registered with the American Society of Reproductive Medicine behavioral health division- specializing in counseling those going through infertility and loss. I also work with those considering adoption, and those going through pregnancy and child loss. I am trained as a Christian/Biblical therapist and practice such upon request. I enjoy working with teens, preteens and women in all stages of their lives.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
I have utilized attachment theory for many years in working with children, families and in understanding how ones childhood impacts them as an adult. I have a specialized certificate for my studies in attachment and bonding. I have conducted attachment and bonding assessments for use in adoption, infertility and court appointed cases.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral therapy is the root of my practice. The heart of CBT is that if you can change the way you think about an issue it will lead to changes in how you feel, and this can be utilized to benefit self esteem, depression, trauma, anxiety, and to garner self understanding to name a few.
Play Therapy
I have used play therapy techniques with my younger clients through out my practice. Play is the language of children and it can be used to teach a variety of skills as well as to understand a child's thinking and emotions. I continue to use some play therapy techniques through the early teen years to keep therapy engaging and interesting.
Faith based therapy
Faith based therapy is where my heart lies, I have a MA in Religion and believe that ones faith should be an integral part of their healing and understanding of self.
Gottman method
I have trained in the Gottman method for marriage therapy and continue to continue my training in this area. I find the Gottman method to be well researched, applicable and easy to apply for most couples.
