My journey of helping people started when I was a middle school and high school teacher. While working closely with children, I learned about the emotional and developmental issues that they deal with and how it can leave a lasting effect into adulthood if they do not receive help. As a counselor, I use my knowledge, skills, and empathy to help adults and children deal with what they are struggling with and help them increase control of their lives. I look at each individual as their own person who needs individualistic care. Additionally, I incorporate the values and beliefs of my clients to create the most helpful counseling.

I want you to know that you are NOT alone and healing is possible.
Attending therapy is not easy. No one wakes up excited to talk about their struggles, pain, or trauma, and yet, there’s real courage in choosing to face what’s difficult rather than avoid it. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression or unsolved trauma; you don't have to face it alone. I take time to truly listen to your story, understand your goals, and build a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered.

Hi, I’m Amanda Aube. Thank you for stopping by.
You may be feeling stretched thin by change, carrying anxiety that never fully quiets, adapting to a new culture, grieving a loss, or trying to regain your footing after a major life transition. You might also be navigating the emotional ups and downs of infertility or the IVF journey experiences that can feel overwhelming, isolating, and difficult to put into words.
I have a special interest in working with women experiencing infertility and undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF. This journey can bring cycles of hope, disappointment, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion.

My career as a counselor began in 1997;however, I was certified. I have returned to the University of Lenoir Rhyne College and now have a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I am dually licensed mental health and substance abuse. Personally, I believe counseling has a stigma, unwarranted. Everyone needs help during difficult times in our life and I am speaking from experience. After my mother died, I felt a sense of loss and desperation. I realized in healing it was something I couldn't do alone. I am thankful for my grief counselor. Now I hope to provide the same refuge for anyone hurting. Please try! I will help!

The most influential piece of healing is connection and sometimes you don't need a cure, you need a witness. A witness who validates your current and past struggles while helping you grow through the discomfort. A witness that does not try to "fix you" but gives you the tools to grow. A connection with a therapist could be the missing piece of your healing journey. I have experience working with a variety of people from those who have survived trauma to those who need support with daily life stressors.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
