Amanda embodies what you want in a therapist - someone who listens actively and empathetically, asks appropriate questions that require thoughtful responses, demonstrates an interest in moving forward with solving problems and doesn't tolerate dishonest or self-defeating excuses. I enjoy our sessions very much and feel like progress is already being made. Highly recommended.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I love Amanda’s style and approach to therapy. She understands my primary goals and always comes prepared with suggestions for my situation so I can continue to move in a positive direction. I would highly recommend Amanda and encourage you to meet and talk to her.
Amanda has been an amazing support for me. She is an excellent therapist. I am truly grateful for everything she has done for me.
Therapy was relatively new to me and I was a bit nervous of feeling judged at first, but Amanda made me feel comfortable and was really supportive in helping me accomplish my therapy goals! I would recommend her to anyone seeking help!
I’ve seen many therapists, but don’t always connect the same way that I do with Amanda. I feel she is knowledgeable and has significantly helped me through quite a few things. I look forward to continuing to work with her and highly recommend her to others as well.
