I am licensed in Washington with over 10 years of professional experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I have worked for many years with older adults and their families, as well as people living with chronic illnesses and economic stressors.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion - human to human. I also know that there is therapeutic power in simply having a consistent space to process with a trained listener. However, I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My experience is grounded in Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Existential Therapy, and an acknowledgement that there is no one-right approach to any person.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda McDade. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is thoughtful and listens to concerns and recalls previous conversations with you and asks how to support you with your goals.
