Amanda has been the first therapist that actually work with me through my goals and treatment planning. She's proactive, honest, and sincere when listening to my needs and wants. I appreciate that we don't just "talk about my feelings," but we actively improve mindsets, trying out different solutions, and plan for a better and brighter tomorrow. Highly recommended.
More about Baotran
- 4 years' experience

- LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of professional experience. I first obtained my BA in Psychology at San Francisco State University and was intrigued with motivational and positive psychology. Once I graduated, I started off working with adolescents with Autism for 5 years, then expanded my experience working in Mental Health as a Behavior Specialist. I acquired my MA in Counseling Psychology at John F. Kennedy University. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Impulse Disorders, ADHD, and Psychosis). I am specialized in helping clients and families with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I am also bilingual in English and Vietnamese. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage and patience to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.

She is amazing I instantly clicked with her and I felt so comfortable. She listens and helps me navigate through my thoughts . I wish I could see her all year . I’ll be so sad once my sessions end with her
Amanda has been extremely supportive. She listened patiently, asked great prompt questions, and shared many helpful tips, suggestions, and tools I can leverage. She has been a great resource and helping me get through a very challenging time in my life. I've been very grateful that I had the opportunity to connect with her and have her support.
Her method of doing therapy is just what I need at this time in my life. She started with the acute issue and then fills in the backstory of my life as it comes up. She is extremely supportive and affirming of how I feel and what my issues are. Amanda gives me skills to work on in between sessions
She creates a comfortable and safe environment that encourages open communication. Her insights and guidance have been instrumental in my personal growth and self-awareness. She is empathetic and compassionate, making it easy to share even the most challenging issues. Her approach is tailored to my individual needs, providing personalized strategies for coping and healing. She consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of my concerns and offers practical solutions. Her professionalism and dedication are evident in every session, making each interaction meaningful and productive.
