My name is Amanda Tessmer, a licensed mental health practitioner. I have always felt a strong desire to work with individuals and families to navigate challenges they may face. Becoming a therapist was a very easy decision for me since I have a strong desire to walk beside clients on their journey to self-healing and self-love. Everyone is unique and deserves a non-judgmental, confidential space to explore and discover positive changes that improve their lives, so I strive to build a strong collaborative relationship where these changes can happen.
From depression and anxiety, coping with life stressors, learning emotional regulation techniques, to goal setting, or developing effective communication skills, I am dedicated to creating a safe space where clients acanflourish.
My approach to therapy is integrative and includes listening with compassion and empathy, creating safe space for expression and exploration of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and empowering individuals to reach their goals.

I work with clients to achieve therapy goals outlined in a customized clinical treatment plan tailored to each individual. Our initial sessions begin by building a strong therapeutic relationship and identifying therapy goals that target specific concerns. Most of my clients experience a gradual improvement in symptoms within the first month, with sustained benefits thereafter.

I am formally trained in Sandtray and Grief Counseling and I am committed to continuing professional training in additional techniques. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and feelings affect your thoughts and emotions with targeted techniques to change negative thought and behavior patterns.
