Hi, I am Dr. Amanda Hart, and I am glad you found your way to therapy as part of your healing journey. I hope that I can be a helpful support in reaching your mental health goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has worked in a variety of outpatient and inpatient mental health settings. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults who are dealing with a range of concerns, from depression or anxiety, trauma, or even difficulties in adapting to changes in everyday life. As a therapist, I believe in working from a holistic perspective. Mental, physical, social, and spiritual health are all aspects of wellness that should be considered in healing. My therapeutic approach is integrative in nature and I strive to meet my clients’ individual needs as appropriate. I believe a focus on self-compassion and personal strengths are helpful in building resilience and confidence, which contribute to overall mental health and progress toward meaningful goals. My therapeutic style is warm, nonjudgmental, and friendly. My goal is to help my clients understand they are not alone and there is always hope in moving forward. Life is a journey of continuous change which requires personal adaptation. Whether you are going through a transition, or you have ongoing concerns, therapy is a safe place to express emotions and develop a more meaningful and satisfactory experience out of life.

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+ and adults. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues. My full fee is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, however I do work on a sliding scale as well.

I am a person-centered therapist utilizing a personalized collaborative and strengths-based approach. I view each person holistically and as a unique individual, tailoring our sessions to your needs and to meet your specific goals in therapy rather than following one rigid protocol. I have additional training in trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment modalities. My first priority is for you to feel safe and trusting of me as your therapist. I offer a non-judgemental, honest, compassionate, accepting and understanding space that respects your personal values, goals, identity, culture and experiences. Reaching out for help can be hard especially when you don't know what to expect, or were unsatisfied with therapy in the past. I offer a collaborative relationship and I encourage feedback on my style and the therapeutic techniques so that you can get the most out of our time. It's important for you to know that I am on your team, I'm here to help you help yourself - empowering you to take ownership over your life, relationships and well being. The practical skills, tools and resources I provide can be used for a lifetime of continued growth and wellness, beyond the therapy "room".

Crisis, trauma, loss, and suffering while difficult, can lead to the discovery of new capacities for healing and growth. During this time of uncertainty, now may be the ideal time to address these issues. Therapy is a transformative and collaborative process that can help. I welcome working with individuals of all ages. I work from a strengths-based approach and use evidence-based models of therapy including -- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Psychodynamic Therapy, and solution-focused models – to address the challenges life presents us. In addition to my work in private practice, I work in a forensic hospital setting for those afflicted with a severe mental illness. I have extensive training in counseling and am well qualified to treat a variety of patients and symptom profiles including, but not limited to individuals in crisis/suicidality, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety.

I started my career as a marriage and family therapist working in residential settings with youth in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. As a child, I experienced trauma when my family had to flee as refugees from a war-torn country. Applying my own history and experiences, I am able to connect with my clients, understand their experiences, and help them deal with their trauma head-on. As a clinician, I try to understand each individual holistically, including their background and the strengths they already possess, to provide an individualized approach.

Hello, and welcome! First, let's acknowledge that taking the first step toward bettering your mental health is both empowering and courageous! I know initiating the process can feel intimidating, but it’s also the start of a transformative journey. While I may be new to Grow, I'm certainly not new to providing therapeutic care. With over 11 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I have helped countless individuals and families from various walks of life over the years. In my private practice, Therapy with Krystal, I focus on supporting millennial women as they navigate tough life transitions, and as they're ready to begin healing from complex trauma. While I prioritize women of color (WOC), I'm open to working with all allied races and genders. Through a holistic approach, I aim to create a safe space where you can cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. Together, we’ll foster growth, healing, and meaningful change by approaching your story with curiosity, compassion, and positive regard. I invite you to show up as your imperfect, unfiltered self—so that, over time, you feel safe expressing your true self in every area of your life. You're the expert on your own journey. My role is to walk alongside you, offering insight, support, and encouragement as you move forward. My goal is to help you establish more balance, peace, and fulfillment in your life- whatever that may look like for you. If you're feeling called to work me, I encourage you to book a session to determine if we would be a good fit.
