What does a first session with you look like?

The first session, as with all Thriveworks therapists, will involve talking through your needs and goals for therapy — whether those involve managing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or another mental health challenge. This will enable you to receive the very best care, as a personalized treatment plan will then be developed for subsequent sessions. Thriveworks helps people live happier, more fulfilling lives. Clients are guided and supported as they work through their unique mental health challenges – and, along the way, shown the life-changing power of therapy.

What is your style/approach to therapy?

I offer a variety of counseling approaches including CBT / Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems. As a provider with a holistic approach, I seek to understand my client completely.

What should we know about your experiences and background?

Amanda completed her Master's Degree in Nursing with a focus on Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioning from Walden University. Her love for this field prompted her to further her education to a position where she can provide medication management, counseling, and various forms of therapy. Amanda has experience incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and person-centered (PCT) techniques into the care she provides for her clients. Her patient advocacy and ability to meet patients where they are emotionally and mentally are among her strongest skills.
