Testimonials
A.S. ~ Client
“I’ve been seeing Amanda for almost two years now. Her guidance and counseling has been more than just helpful. She is not just professional but personable as well! She truly does care about her patients and is passionate about her work! Amanda took her time with me, made me feel safe and seen! Her trauma related therapy has guided me to heal, learn, listen, and grow as a young woman."
E.C. ~ Client
"I can not say enough good things about Amanda, she has been such a staple in my healing journey.
I have been so blessed to have found such an amazing therapist, I have been seeing her for a little over a year now and I don’t know where I would be without her help and guidance."
K.F. ~ Former Client
"Right from the start of my healing journey (going on 4 years now), when I was at my lowest (and ever since then), Amanda has made me feel extremely comfortable, hopeful, heard, understood, and at ease to be myself. It's like I'm talking to a friend that I can trust with my trauma and my most honest, vulnerable thoughts and feelings, whether they're negative or positive. She never judges or makes me feel like my feelings and thoughts don't matter. However, she also does not coddle me. She's a perfect balance between compassion/ understanding and "tough love" . She challenges me in the best ways in order for me to change my perceptions and reflect on my feelings and actions. Amanda remembers our conversations and details about me, which reassures me that she actually cares about my life and well-being. You will not find a more supportive, professional, compassionate, down-to-Earth, therapist to help you process and heal from your trauma(s). I would recommend her services 10/10 every single time!"
