Amanda Ramos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has a great passion for helping clients remove any identified barriers between themselves and their life goals through healing therapeutic work and an increase in positive coping skills. Amanda has 13 years of experience working in the mental health field with a background in all levels of clinical care within both mental health and substance abuse treatment settings.

Humans are relational. This means we are wired to be loved and accepted by those around us. We live among imperfect people, however, so our experience sometimes becomes hurt from unmet needs. The results then become unproductive patterns in our relationships, negative behaviors, a lack of positivity, and a sense of being stuck. For me, the goal of counseling is to heal past hurts and to process how those hurts affect our current choices and relationships. Once we free ourselves from the hurt, anger, guilt and shame of the past, we are open to feel love and to love others.

Have you found yourself feeling overwhelmed with life? Are you looking for a therapist who’s a real person with real feelings & emotions who understands that life is hard and can sometimes suck? Sometimes we just need someone to listen without judgement. Someone to help us work through the moments of “blah” feelings we all experience as humans. My goal as a therapist is to be exactly that for everyone I work with.

Pflugerville Counseling Center offers a wide range of counseling services to individuals, families, couples, and children/teens. Though each of us specializes in different areas, we all hold a belief that counseling is most helpful when it is about having a safe relationship to more fully explore, understand, and accept self and the choices we make. We believe that everyone has a story and the more we can own our stories, the more choice and control we have over writing the next chapters. We all love working with the brain/body/relationship connection we all hold within ourselves and between each other.
