Hi there! My name is Amanda and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I believe therapy is one of the most important spaces you can enter and I aim to honor that by meeting you where you are, connecting with an empathetic approach, and acknowledging the strength it takes to heal. Originally from Massachusetts, I have been a South Carolina resident for the past 8 years and love any chance I can get to soak up the sun!

 

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to do what I love and have had the incredible honor of working with many amazing adolescents and adults who have experienced various life experiences, mental health, and substance abuse concerns. I have found in my work that humans are resilient; sometimes we just need an advocate, support system, and sounding board along the way-I hope to be just that for you!

 

My prior experiences working in behavioral health hospitals, substance abuse and sexual health clinics have led me to specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, sexual health concerns, and addiction. I also enjoy working with couples and individuals with relationship or attachment concerns. My primary therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. In addition, I often utilize practices of mindfulness, meditation, and elements of art and music.

 

I believe in a strong connection between the mind, body, and soul and utilize a holistic person-centered approach to therapy-you are in control of your own life! I hope to provide a safe space that empowers you and together we will work on your thoughts, feelings and experiences to create a meaningful future that you deserve. I thank you in advance for allowing me to join you in your journey through life and I can not wait to meet you!
