Individual Therapy
Psychotherapy is a confidential, collaborative process in order to achieve improved health and happiness. Amanda is passionate about positive psychology and applies a strengths-based approach to treatment. You will work together to understand and navigate life’s relationships, stressors and emotional experiences. Amanda will work with you in an authentic and compassionate way, utilizing an integrated approach to meet your individual needs – helping you create a more balanced and enjoyable life.
What to Expect
Your first session will involve discussing what brought you to therapy and what issues Amanda might be able to assist you with. During this initial phase, you will discuss a plan moving forward, creating a road map for the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy can be time-limited, or an ongoing process of deep personal healing and growth. Together, we will establish mutually agreed-upon psychotherapy goals.
Sessions are 50 minutes in length and booked according to your availability.
