Therapy is a powerful process of discovery and transformation. People begin therapy for many reasons. Maybe you currently feel stuck in negative beliefs, patterns, or behaviors. Or maybe you are looking for meaningful ways to change. Whatever your reason, we can work together to create long lasting change. Therapy can teach you how to be more compassionate towards yourself. You will discover and evaluate what is limiting your growth and well-being, and strive towards living a fulfilling and whole-hearted life.

“Treat the patient, not just the disease.” This mantra has always been an inspiration for my practice, as I truly believe that successful therapy is rooted in the positive, working relationships I form with my patients. If you are living with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, or have family and/or marital issues, life might feel complicated and overwhelming. You may need a safe space to heal, explore yourself, and feel heard. My education & experience as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the tools to help empower people like you to create positive change and work towards achieving a state of well-being.

Hi there! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in both Couples Therapy, and Eating Disorder treatment at an outpatient level of care. Through a client-centered approach, my passion lies in restoring disruptions in early childhood attachment, and helping those identify negative thought patterns, core beliefs, and emotions that have led to maladaptive coping behaviors. If you are either feeling exhausted from the shame towards your body and want freedom from disordered eating, or are longing to strengthen your relationship and communication with a loved one, I would love to create that space for you!

Are you ready to finally feel in control of your life? I know how hard it can be to take the first step in finding a therapist who is a good fit for you, but you deserve happiness! Anxiety and stress can get in the way of having a happy and fulfilling life. If you or your teen/young adult are struggling with thoughts, feelings, or relationships, we can work together to look at what has been bothering you and figure out how to make changes that can benefit all aspects of your life. Receiving nonjudgemental support and some new skills may be the answer! Special focus on Highly Sensitive People. Telehealth sessions only at this time.

Ever feel as though there is much on your mind but no one to share it with? Like no one will understand what it is that you have to say? Are these thoughts or feelings leading to depression or anxiety? Or perhaps you've experienced trauma in your life and it is not resolved? Let me be the one to listen, support you, and assist in navigating or healing in your journey. My name is Amanda Lewis, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 4 years of experience working with children and adolescents, families, as well as adults.

Ready to conquer that life transition, pandemic burnout, or improve your relationship? I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, making successful life transitions, and making lasting relationship improvements.

At some point in our lives, it is not uncommon to find ourselves struggling with emotional pain and daily life challenges. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous, resilient, and self-directed. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and safe environment, where clients can begin to understand and work through the complexities of their emotional and behavioral challenges. I tailor treatment to my client’s strengths and goals, assisting them in breaking maladaptive coping strategies and poor habits while acquiring effective coping skills, which promote new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others.

You want to appear like you have it "all together" but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or to cope with challenging experiences in your past or present. You may be fed up with the overthinking, second guessing and anxiety getting in the way of living your best life. You never feel "good enough" & compare yourself to others. And you're ready for relief. You're ready to have meaningful relationships without your past getting in the way. You're ready to stop the choas in your mind. You're ready to feel confident. Most of all, you're ready to love yourself & be happy with OR without all the things.

The first step on the path to healing can be the hardest. Often times, we feel fragile, whether it be from past trauma, debilitating depression, anxiety, conflictual relationships, and the overall stresses attributed to life. Sometimes we feel surrounded by people who look but do not see us, hear but do not listen or understand which can lead you to feel isolated, disconnected, and misunderstood. Therapy is a space to navigate this desolate plane, a place to help you achieve a more fruitful and fulfilling connection with yourself and others. I have experience working with couples, individuals and families.

Does life feel far away or like you're walking through a fog? Do thought spirals feel productive but leave you anxious? As a trauma specialist, I aim to remember the beauty that can come after ugly things happen. I believe in post-traumatic growth, a term meaning that, not only was a person resilient in their ability to heal from an adversity, but that they were actually able to benefit from an adverse event by growing their psychological capacity to empathize, reframe and thrive after trauma. I work with people who are navigating sexual trauma, self-empowerment, anxiety/panic and intercultural identities.

I specialize in working with high functioning professionals seeking personal and professional growth and development. Issues of expertise include professional athletes, leadership development, grief, chronic stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, parenting, perfectionism, men's intimacy issues, patterns of addiction, professional burnout and integrating one's spirituality in day to day life. I work from a developmental, depth perspective customized to an individual's unique challenges and goals. I enjoy helping high achieving adults fulfill their personal, professional and relationship potential while creatively addressing areas of challenge.

Therapy offers a safe space away from the responsibilities of your daily life, where you can process, recalibrate, and practice new skills. One of my specialties is assisting people in difficult life transitions such as divorce, career change, death of a loved one, or a phase of life transition to name a few. Together, I can help you find some acceptance of the new condition, grieve losses, and find some hope for the new. With couples & families, my goal is to create space for us to slow down, understand the negative cycle you might be stuck in and build in ways of communicating where everyone can feel heard.

Do you feel alone, sad, disconnected? Do you just need someone to talk to? You may feel like friends or family don't understand, or maybe you're afraid to tell anyone that your life isn't as "perfect" as it seems. You don't have to feel so alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and are yearning to feel grounded, there is hope. I offer a supportive environment where clients feel safe, trusted & understood. We can work together to come to new understandings about your feelings, relationships, & behavior patterns.

My passion is working with you to create a well-rounded fulfilling life, and I practice what I preach. I emphasize deep meaningful therapy sessions along with other aspects such as healthy eating, exercise, hobbies, relationships and time in nature. I like to be clear with our goals and how therapy will work and I will guide you each step of the way.
