Dr. Amanda Brown
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to maintain your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? You are not alone. I help individuals manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, grounding, and self-care tips to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. I have approximately 25 years of behavioral health and counseling experience with individuals of all ages. I have worked with individuals and families with various diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, oppositional defiance disorders, or school/work issues. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, have relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
First session
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or trauma. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand while, together, creating a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
Strengths
My biggest strengths are putting you first, being objective, and listening to your story. You are in charge of your therapy and the direction it goes. I am pretty down to earth and will meet you where you are in your journey to becoming your best self.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I love working with clients on accepting their life as it is and moving forward toward improvement. We cannot change our past and sometimes do not have control over the present, but we can control how we perceive our situation and our reactions to it to make the best decisions for our lives.
