LCSW-C, 2 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hello I am Amanda! When I think of myself as a social worker, I always wanted to Empower, Educate & Enlighten people and my community. I believe that each individual creates a goal, and as therapists, we are here to apply the tools to accomplish the goals. I practice goal-oriented, strengths-based, and motivational interviewing, focusing on learning and implementing healthy coping skills and problem-solving. I utilize the 3 (Empower, Educate & Enlighten) to help one achieve those goals and create an individualized treatment plan. I have a non-judgmental, caring, and compassionate style to support individuals dealing with life experiences. I strive to Empower individuals to rediscover and recreate themselves. I strive to Educate about various mental health needs. I strive to Enlighten one with resources to help achieve those goals.
Clients can expect to build rapport with me. They can expect to feel that this is a safe space for them. I like for clients to know that this is their session, and each individual is in control of how therapy can work for them.
