Hi! I'm Amanda, LPC in Pennsylvania. I started my journey as a school counselor at a high school for 13 years and then transitioned into an outpatient facility. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate their lives. I love learning about and connecting with others. I help support individuals with adjusting to new situations, set boundaries, feel empowered, manage the demands of life, learn better coping and implement self-care. Together we can identify what's not working, explore thoughts, feelings, and core concerns, in order to create better balance.
During our first session, my goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to share your current presenting issues. We will complete several questionnaires so we can build a treatment plan together with goals that are attainable.
I firmly believe the therapeutic relationship is very important to the outcome of therapy. I use a person centered approach, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).
I was a DII College Athlete so I really enjoy getting to connect with other past or present athletes. I have over 17 years experience helping others with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bi-polar, relationship issues, or just feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I am here to provide you with a non-judgmental environment where you will feel supported and cared for.
