I’ve been seeing Amanda for the past few months and without her I know I wouldn’t be where I am today. I can see the growth in myself and Amanda has been there for me every step of the way. She listens, she validates, she holds me accountable, but she never judges. I am extremely grateful to have her as a listening ear and a helpful hand. I still have work to do but with her I know I can do it.

Hello Friend,
You have taken a courageous first step toward wellness. Thank you for reaching out!
From this moment on, you are not alone.
Please note: I provide therapy via live chat, phone, and video/tele. I check my messages on the platform and respond within 24 hours.
When first asked what population I most enjoyed working with, my response was, "EVERY population"! I have lived in many places and worked with a diverse group of individuals since 2002. Each person has enriched my life and broadened my view of the human experience.
I practice EMDR, as it is an evidence-based treatment that I've witnessed helping many trauma survivors.
Life has its challenges and how have we coped with it all? Since infancy, we ask for help in one way or another. I wager to say that seeking a human connection is innate. That is the essence of therapy. I firmly believe we all need each other. We are all in this together.
Therapy is rooted in having a comfortable, positive relationship. You and I will be partners. I promise to be that warm person who listens and never judges you. Our sessions are a safe place, always!
Some personal things...
I grew up in mid-Michigan, from birth to age 20. I lived in San Francisco during my early twenties. I spent many years in Phoenix and also on the Gulf side of Florida (Seminole). Now I am in the Old West, Wyoming!! II have lived here for over 10 years. I love being in touch with nature and have loved every place I have lived. I am newly remarried and have two amazingly perfect children, both diagnosed with autism; ages 14 and 15. Part our of family is an 80-pound rescue dog named Grizzy Bear, an English Mastiff called Zeus, and an elderly cat from the shelter named Barry Catalow. ❤
Now for more education and experience-based information...
I am a University of Michigan graduate; Psychology 1999. I earned my Masters in Clinical Social Work degree from the University of South Dakota; 2018.
I have provided counseling services since 2002. My experience started with working in a residential program for females, ages 10-65, who suffered from eating disorders. From there, I moved on to provide crisis services and suicide prevention for 7 years. I have designed behavior plans for children and teens with troublesome behaviors and worked hands on with the families and group home staff. I provided crisis services to those whom were sexually assaulted or victims of other violent crimes. I have facilitated group therapy, individual therapy, couples therapy, and done cognitive testing. I have worked with toddlers, the elderly, and all ages in between. I worked with active duty military individuals and Veterans for 9 years. Thank you for your service, brave ones.
I have over 3 years of experience working in an acute psychiatric hospital. I am experienced in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, PTSD, and psychotic/delusional disorders. Though, I think diagnosis can be important, and even life-saving, in my role, I am more concerned about treating your symptoms and overall happiness than diagnosis.
My style is adapting to what my client needs. Among my styles are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT principles, and good old-fashioned compassionate listening.
Other things to know:
Please please please give me 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. I tend to keep a very busy schedule and I can use the hour to slide someone else in if I have some notice. Thank you!!!
Let's get you feeling better!! I look forward to being a part of your journey!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is incredible!
Amanda is simply amazing!
Amanda is absolutely amazing, she’s so knowledgeable, and kind and supportive. She’s honestly everything I’ve been looking for in a therapist. I can’t wait to stay on this therapy train with her.
Thank you for your advice and patient listening ear Amanda.
Amanda is an incredibly committed and talented support. I have found her EMDR approach specifically to be groundbreaking for me personally. I have healed from lifelong challenges that have plagued me intensely through this powerful approach. Amanda leads and supports with grace, elegance and respect.
Best therapist I’ve ever had by far
Amanda has been incredible, she leads with kindness in her sessions and helps to overcome any challenge that life throws at you. When I first joined Better Help my first few sessions I was so stressed and emotionally fragile that I cried for most of the time. Amanda was incredibly caring and within a couple of sessions I began to feel like myself again. As the year progressed and I faced more difficult situations, Amanda was always on hand to guide me through the challenges and help me develop the tools I needed so life could become more manageable again. She has helped me rediscover myself and see that life can be wonderful. I really won the jackpot with Amanda as my therapist and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone considering therapy! She helps make the world a less overwhelming space and allowed me to see life as more joyful experience. I will forever be thankful to Amanda, for her kindness, patience and talent. She's helped me to understand myself and others in a way that I never thought was possible, and allowed me to overcome trauma that I had been holding on to for years. She is wonderful!
Amanda is amazing and has helped me so much since I started seeing her. She's kind, caring, empathetic, and so knowledgeable. She is by far the best mental health professional I have ever worked with. Outstanding!
Amanda is a deeply compassionate, angelically kind, overwhelmingly patient, unbelievably understanding, and wonderfully optimistic person. Her manner is utterly professional, and she has a wealth of knowledge spanning a remarkably wide berth, and always seems to be learning something new for the benefit of her clients. She is polite, and friendly, and can see the good in a person even through layer after layer of their own darkness. Her ability to bring people into the light, to show them the beauty they don't see, and to introduce them to the love they don't recognise is second to none. Amanda is, frankly, a gift to this world, and society would benefit hugely from more people like her.
She is kind, visibly caring, and just wants me to be a better version of myself and sees that I can be.
Amanda is amazing. She really knows how and when to give every kind of support. She has really helped me improve my life.
Amanda is incredible. When I signed up for therapy I was so lost, lonely and low. My head had gone into a very dark space and I was feeling so helpless, with no sign of light. From the very first session she was incredibly kind and I felt at ease with her. I'm now a few months in, during which time she has given me the tools and confidence to feel connected to myself and others again. She is always on hand to support, have a listening ear and gives beautiful and relevant guidance. A true beam of sunshine! I can never thank Amanda enough for all that she has done, she's wonderful.
Amanda is a kind, compassionate, insightful, and passionate therapist. While she has a large repertoire of techniques in her toolkit she strives to learn more and research new areas that are particular to her clients. I feel in safe hands with Amanda and look forward to our sessions where there are always aha moments and key takeaways. Thank you Amanda for all that you do!
My second live session with Amanda and her experience, plus professional approach shines through. I feel comfortable and I am taking tools and advice away from these sessions that I feel are very valuable.
Amanda is very warm and inviting. She helps you to feel comfortable and to explore new ways of thinking about things.
Amanda is a 11/10 human
Amanda is incredible. Her insights and guidance are leading me to a place of context and clarity on some longstanding issues. I highly recommend Amanda and know that I have a partner on my journey towards a place of peace and acceptance.
Amanda i’d a great therapist and I couldn’t have been matched with anyone better!!!
Amanda is an absolute joy to work with! She's so kind, understanding, and fun to talk to, and she has a strong understanding of what's going on in my mind. She responds to my messages quickly and provides resources that have been helpful for improving my overall well-being and mindset between sessions. I look forward to continuing to work with her. She has my highest recommendation!
Amanda is amazing. She is very soft and a real listener with a toolbox full of advices that will help you manage your day to day life. She helped me to open up and to see, recognize and analyze my own behavior. She is never judging me. It doesn’t matter what I did or said, she will always help. I really trust Amanda
Amanda is extremely patient and considerate, and often ensures that I am well looked after, that my needs are met and that I feel understood, listened to, and valued. She challenges me and somehow makes nothing feel out of reach. She instills a self-confidence that I never knew I had.
Amanda is great! She helps me through my problems and regularly checks in on me to make sure I’m doing well when I haven’t seen her
Amanda is compassionate and incredibly supportive. I feel safe opening up to her as she is not judgmental and always kind and patient. I have only had one session so far but just from one talk with her fave me some very helpful strategies to deal with anxiety.
She is very thoughtful and a respectful person who tries her best to help you out
Amanda has been very helpful to me! Thank you!
