You're here! Great self-awareness and self-advocacy. Do you think you (or your partner) might have anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or grief? Are you hoping to reduce conflict, work through trauma, improve communication, and feel more connected? Would you like a safe, supportive space to explore your values, boundaries, and overall well-being? I love working with clients who are reflecting on what they've previously experienced, and what they need moving forward. Together, let's reflect on your values, advocate for needs, and leave feeling more empowered and confident.
I empower clients of all identities and orientations and am mindful of each person or couple's unique context. I take a strengths-based and solutions-focused approach, and I love to nerd out over some Gottman Method with my couples and relationship work.
If you'd like to hear more about what counseling could be like for you, or learn a little more about my vibe, let's set up an intro call!
Call or Amanda Birkland now for a free 15 minute consultation - (531) 206-5916

I combine a bit of biology, psychology, and community/systems into therapy. All of these factors combine to make you (and your partner/s) uniquely you! I love to reflect my clients' strengths and values back to them, and prefer to work together on tangible, concrete changes so clients can feel more empowered.
