Hi, I’m Amanda Boone, MA, LPC, LCDC. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, substance use recovery, severe stress, and major life transitions. A lot of the people I work with are used to being the strong one for everyone else while silently falling apart behind the scenes. Others come into therapy feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward.
My approach to therapy is direct, compassionate, trauma-informed, and very human. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest without feeling judged, analyzed, or talked down to. I’m not the type of therapist who just sits quietly nodding for an hour. I actively engage with clients, provide feedback, challenge unhealthy patterns when needed, and help people develop practical tools they can actually use in everyday life.
I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed care, while also adapting treatment to fit each individual rather than forcing people into a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe healing is not about becoming perfect. It is about understanding yourself better, learning healthier ways to cope, improving emotional regulation, and building a life that feels more stable, authentic, and manageable.
I know reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you are used to handling everything on your own. My goal is to create an environment where clients feel supported, understood, challenged when appropriate, and empowered to make meaningful changes that support long-term growth and emotional well-being.
