Amanda Smith
Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor (LPC-S)
Hi, I’m Amanda (she/her). I’ve been in the field for over 20 years, and what keeps me going is the power of connection. I’m a relationship-based therapist who brings both warmth and directness into the room. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, or just trying to get through a hard season, we’ll work together in a way that’s flexible, supportive, and grounded in what matters most to you.
I work with kids, teens, young adults, and adults—along with families and couples—who are managing everything from panic and ADHD to identity shifts and communication breakdowns. Many of my clients describe me as kind, insightful, and interactive. I don’t just sit back and nod—I’m here to reflect, guide, and walk alongside you.
My work draws from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, EFT, and mindfulness. But I always tailor the process to you. Some sessions might feel more structured; others might offer space to reflect, process, or reset. The relationship we build will shape the work we do.
