Asian Therapists in Hollins, VA

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I'm grateful for your courage to take this step. I’ve spent over a decade helping adults, youth (14 & older on case-by-case basis) and families overcome many different challenges: PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions. I also offer therapeutic support to those who want to grow their family through adoption. I use CBT, mindfulness, substance use recovery methods, strengths-based approach and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). EMDR is scientifically proven as an effective form of treatment for PTSD, depression/anxiety and distressing events.

My work is centered around helping families, couples, and individuals nurture their relationships, break unhealthy behavioral cycles, and work through their struggles.

I have experience working with individuals who carry a variety of hardships ranging from depression, to anxiety, anger management, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, minorities/immigrants struggling with identity confusion, individuals suffering with eating disorders, and more.

Life often has its ups and downs. I provide a safe, affirming, compassionate, and non-judgmental space, where we can fully honor your experiences and personhood, and where you can take the steps toward self-exploration, discovery, self-compassion, and growth. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, grief, interpersonal concerns, relationship challenges, and depression. I frequently work with individuals on issues relating to multi-cultural diversity, LGBTQIA+ identities and experiences, and life transitions.
