Amanda Romano
I have over a decade of experience providing therapy to those wanting to improve their outlook, facing anxiety or depression, and desiring to build new patterns that reflect improved self-worth and growth. I guide through a client-centered approach, incorporating various methods in order to empower clients to turn their vulnerabilities into strengths.
We will meet regularly, and we will laugh together (even when tears are also shed); I will hold a metaphorical mirror to you, as you come to therapy to learn and be challenged.
When working with me, you will learn to look at yourself through many lenses. The work of therapy can change the nature of the position you’re in, so we will learn what’s contributed to the ways in which you love yourself and others, and your outcome will reflect the many ways you can grow with my guidance. We will meet regularly, and we will laugh together (even when tears are also shed); I will hold a metaphorical mirror to you, as you come to therapy to learn and be challenged.
First session
Our first session will be a little more structured with some background questions about yourself and what brought you to therapy. That will help us to get familiar on the first day, before our sessions become more free flowing.
Strengths
My passion comes from empowering my clients to truly understand what makes them special, because it's true.
Ideal clients
If you are willing to look at all things that have contributed to your thoughts, patterns, and behaviors...both present and past, then we will be compatible. Therapy is a journey we will go on together. We will build trust in the therapeutic relationship with a warm and caring, but also honest approach. I'll hold a mirror to you. We will laugh together, and you will feel encouraged to be your authentic full self.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will examine your current patterns (with both thoughts and behaviors) and figure out how to adjust them to reflect an improved self worth and growth. This will come from exploring how you've developed these patterns and channeling them into something productive and compassionate for yourself.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
We will use mindfulness- becoming in tune with your feelings- to overcome obstacles and live in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
