I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I graduated in 2004 from Richmont Graduate University. Since that time I have worked with people of all ages and numerous concerns. I particularly enjoy working with those individuals suffering from grief, trauma, and process addictions such as pornography. I believe a client centered approach is crucial regardless of the therapeutic interventions used. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship itself (rather than the technique used) is what produces most meaningful change. In terms of ideologies I often use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Amanda is an incredibly kind human that truly cares for her clients. She has helped me gain a better understanding of myself and equipped me with skills to overcome any problems that I may encounter. I looked forward to every session and I am very grateful for time spent in her care.

As I write this review, I have only spent 2 sessions with Amanda with each session being 30 minutes. So far, I feel very comfortable in talking with her and I feel she does not tell me what to do but encourages me to choose my decisions once we have talked about what I have shared with her. She is very compassionate and I look forward to having more sessions with her.
