Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m a licensed mental health and addictions counselor who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can finally take a breath, be completely honest, and not have to pretend that everything is okay.
My work is primarily focused on supporting women who are navigating trauma, difficult relationships, major life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional patterns that can keep us feeling stuck. I’m especially passionate about helping women understand *why* they respond to situations the way they do-and learning how to move forward without allowing their past to define their future.
I take a warm, compassionate, and straightforward approach to therapy. I won’t judge you, and I won’t tell you what you “should” be doing. At the same time, I’m not afraid to gently challenge you when I think there is an opportunity for growth. I believe you deserve both compassion and honesty.
I have training in EMDR and incorporate trauma-informed approaches into my work. I recognize that healing isn’t always linear, and sometimes the goal isn't simply to “feel better.” Sometimes it’s learning to trust yourself again, establish healthier boundaries, break familiar patterns, quiet the inner critic, or finally believe that you are worthy of the life you want.
Most importantly, I want therapy to be a collaborative process. You know yourself and your life better than anyone else. My role is to help you make sense of what you're experiencing, develop the tools to navigate it, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’ve been carrying everything on your own for a long time, you don’t have to do it alone anymore. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

03 · What happens next
Amanda practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Amanda's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Amanda at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Amanda is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Amanda.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance
Amanda's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Amanda. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
