EMPOWERING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
A.H THERAPY & WELLNESS
MEET
YOUR
THERAPIST
Welcome! I'm Amanda, therapist and owner of A.H Therapy & Wellness. I know finding a good connection can be tough - even in therapy - so I'm glad you're here to learn a little more. A therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe, supported and understood is the cornerstone of a successful therapy experience, and is what I strive to establish with each of my clients.
Your time in therapy is yours to define - I am not here to label you. Instead I aim to understand your unique experience and help you develop the tools necessary for you to be the expert on your own mental health.
My area of concentration is adults experiencing anxiety disorders, interpersonal conflict and difficulty with life transitions, but I have worked with children, adolescents and adults struggling with various mental health challenges.
EXPERIENCE
Whether you are pursuing therapy to manage a specific concern, improve emotional regulation, or simply build a better understanding of yourself, a collaborative therapeutic relationship, based in empathy, acceptance and trust is an essential foundation. I know it can be hard to open up to someone new, especially about the tough things, so I strive to create a space within therapy that fosters safety, empowerment (and even a little humor!) as you work towards the growth or healing you seek.
I aim to understand your unique story and where that has brought you today. For that reason, I work from an eclectic framework, meaning I pull from various theoretical orientations and techniques to fit your specific needs. I have extensive knowledge in trauma informed care and cognitive behavioral therapy, but also draw from attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems as well as self-compassion and mindfulness based techniques.
I have my bachelors and masters degrees in clinical psychology, both from Loyola University Maryland. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families, with a special interest in young adults.
I have worked in various environments within the mental health field, spending time in youth and family work, special education, community mental health services and private practice. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Maryland (LCPC) and Connecticut (LPC).
