Aloha, my name is Amanda Makio, I have been a resident on Hawaii Island since 2014 serving the community in a variety of counseling and advocacy positions. I have worked with teens who struggled with traditional school and justice involvement as well as their families. My experience is with underserved populations including foster youth, incarcerated women, sexual assault survivors and victims of crime. I am currently getting back into individual counseling after years of support group facilitation and victim offender conferencing.
First session will likely be a "talk story", getting to know you as a whole person. Having opportunities to ask me questions and see if it's the right fit for you. However, if you are motivated to jump in I never mind a goal oriented session focused on a specific issue.
My passion. I have been told that my passion to help others and my community keeps me focused up to date with current approaches and therapeutic interventions. I am a data nerd! I love being able to track progress and show clients how methods are working or what methods we know we can leave behind.
