Hello! My name is Amanda Stransky and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. Our mental health declines when we feel we no longer have a choice in our lives, and we can work together to change that. I have experience working with military and law enforcement as well as young adults working through career and other life transitions while redefining who they are and who they want to become. I work with military folks, both active duty and retired, that are looking to manage workplace stress, career transitions, and relationship issues.
I also work with college-age and mid-life adults that are facing difficult decisions related to choosing a career path, changing jobs, and navigating life after divorce or other major life-altering events. Frequently, my clients face anxiety and fear leading to inaction and negative self-fulfilling prophecies.

You're the one everyone counts on—keeping everything running, appearing calm and capable—yet still feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected inside. Together, we'll work toward balance, self-awareness, and a life that finally feels like your own.

I create an environment of honesty and mutual respect. My style is direct, compassionate, and collaborative—you'll always know where you stand. You're encouraged to disagree or challenge me. That openness builds trust and allows us to face fear and make meaningful progress together.

When we notice our emotional and physical responses to stress, we gain a brief moment to choose differently. Through somatic and experiential work, we'll align your body and mind with what matters most—replacing reactivity with intentional action and opening space for an authentic way of being.
