We live in a very fast pace world. Responsibilities, pressure to perform professionally and in the personal level. Success is expected from us in all aspects of our lives at all times. Feelings of depression, anxiety, negative thinking and doubts of ourselves can arise from daily pressure and can lead us to failure in our relationships with others and with the world. If you are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, family, parenting, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, traumatic events, goal achievement, life transitions, and making your life purposeful and meaningful, I can help!

As children we create beliefs about ourselves and the world around us that are a result of our interactions with our environment, our heredity and, our relationships with others. Everyday we reinforce those beliefs by our assumptions and our interpretation of events, even though those beliefs may no longer be accurate, may cause us pain, and may negatively impact our ability to function at optimum potential. Counseling and hypnotherapy facilitate awareness, change, empowerment and growth.

Addiction is a disease and it robs people of everything. We meet the client where ever they are in the grips of addiction. Deep down in every individual there is a need to find their sense of purpose. Everyone wants to attain self-actualization or to become who they believe they were meant to become. We believe in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which states individuals must first attain their physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs before reaching self-actualization, which brings a feeling of fulfillment, joy and peace. We provide a way out. Please give us a call to schedule an assessment.

I'm committed to helping individuals learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and with others. Our unconscious and conscious behaviors impact our relationships, the way we interact with others, and how we exist in the world. My strength lies in fostering a safe space that encourages self awareness of behaviors through exploration and curiosity.

I want to help you make meaningful and lasting changes in order to improve your quality of life. I enjoy working with adults who seek to deeper understand themselves and wish to gain increased self awareness. I also enjoy treating other therapists!

Welcome! I am so glad you're here. I understand that while you may be suffering, you are also surviving in the best way that you know how. You have an untapped reservoir of strength and wisdom inside you. By honoring your inherent capacity for healing and growth, I will help guide you on your journey to reach your fullest potential.

Separation and divorce can be difficult, especially for children. The stress or worry can become overwhelming for parents, as well. These matters can lead to individual distress, parent-child contact issues, co-parenting anguish or other suffering. We have years of experience working with families during this time of transition and are here to help you through this journey.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide therapy for Individuals and Couples wishing to understand and modify problematic behavior and emotions. While we can't change difficult experiences of the past, we can unearth and work on patterns and situations to enjoy a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist since 1989 helping individuals and couples improve the quality of their lives by addressing unresolved trauma and dysfunctional interactional patterns stemming from abuse, addiction and toxic family relationships. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety and PTSD. I help my clients feel emotionally connected in their relationships, develop skillful communication strategies and develop internal resources to manage distressing emotional experiences. I provide a safe and inclusive space for your healing to begin and take hold.

Hi. My name is Amanda Jo! I'm honored you've taken the opportunity to read a little bit about me in order to determine if we might be a good fit to walk a part of life's journey together! I have over ten years of experience working in the field of mental health. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Saint Leo University and obtained my Masters in Social Work from Indiana University. I served in the United States Army and am acutely aware of the mental health and family issues specifically related to deployments as well as pre and post service.

We provide holistic counseling services that aim to meet the emotional needs of individuals throughout the community. Areas of specialization include managing moods, working through interpersonal conflict, and improving emotional management/coping associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Through the application of diagnostic assessments and services geared towards individuals, we strive to meet the holistic, psychosocial, and ever-changing needs of our clients.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. My hopes are to create a safe and welcoming environment where you feel empowered, respected, and supported through this journey. I value acceptance and will always advocate for and with you. I appreciate numerous techniques and aim to collaboratively tailor my interventions to best suit your unique needs.

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships, or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. Maybe you want to discover more about yourself and never knew how.

Living authentically and compassionately leads to inner peace. Trauma and distress can cause a plethora of confusing responses, making that peace seem unobtainable. Each person brings their own worldview, experiences, strengths and clues to unburdening oneself from the overwhelm. Healing and moving forward can seem daunting. Therapy transforms the mind-body system, leading to increased self-energy and clarity. Now also offering training for schools and organizations on becoming trauma-informed!

My goal is to help you reach your best potential, to learn how to let go of the negativity that may be holding you back, and feel more confident within yourself. Together we will dig past the surface issues to identify what is creating these problems so that you can resolve them for good! It would be an honor for me to help you navigate through this journey and I look forward to hearing from you!

Individuals who call me say they are exhausted, discouraged, and dissatisfied with life. Old thoughts and behaviors continue to negatively impact who they are, what they want to accomplish, and their relationships. They have lost the meaning and magic of life. Couples who call me say they've drifted apart, feel more like roommates, and affection has stopped. Ineffective patterns of communication prevent them from reaching to each other. The magic in their relationship has died and the dance has ended. Healthy relationships, whether with yourself or others, are key to a happy, satisfying, life and keeping the magic going.

My practice focuses on those who are seeking, through a spiritual path -- healing, accountability, recovery, wholeness and balance. I have 25+ years of experience as a priest who has provided counsel and guidance to families, couples, individuals, adolescents, and children who have struggling with any variety of life issues. I have clinical training in Mental Health associated with substance abuse, PTSD, depression, grief, loss, and anxiety. I maintain a small practice with The Center for Relationships. This permits me to address each client's situation more fully and attentively.

Do you struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or have difficulty relaxing? Perhaps you are able to maintain a calm façade, but inside you worry something bad is going to happen or that people will think badly of you. Chronic stress and worry can come at the cost of your overall well-being. Please know you are not alone. No matter what your personal struggles, I offer a safe and compassionate environment that encourages positive change.
