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.

The ideal client for my practice is anyone who has a willingness to get better and do the work required to get better.

I have helped people with a variety of issues, that include grief/loss, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dual disorders, and trauma based illnesses. I also have experience working with existential life issues and career/work problems. My counseling style often involves the use of imagination, creative introspection, analysis, mindfulness, and cognitive approaches to help address self-defeating thoughts and unproductive behavioral patterns.

Does anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, or addiction cause daily life to be challenging and even overwhelming at times? Do you feel like no matter what you have tried, nothing seems to help or get better? Maybe you have made progress and find that you need some extra help. This might be the first time you are seeking help. Whatever your situation, I believe that you possess the abilities and skills within yourself to help you meet your goals. My desire is to work with you to help you further grow, heal, and find peace and connection within yourself and within your relationships.

I practice therapy from the premise that our thinking patterns are generally what control our moods. If we want to feel better, we must think better. In order to help clients lead manageable, healthy lives, I teach methods by which to modify or replace problematic thinking, and I foster a supportive environment in which clients may grow within the framework of their own values and goals. If it bothers you, I believe it is worth talking about.

Life can be stressful, but when you are confronted with major change, loss or trauma the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. Therapy can help support, guide and heal current and past events, heal depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, abuse, as well as change patterns that continue to prevent relationship, social and professional goals from being met.

Hi! My name is Laura Richards and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky. I attended most of my education in Arizona and then finished up my Master's degree in Tennessee and I've been practicing for eight years. I love to help adults of all ages who either have a trauma history or are experiencing anxiety or depression.

My passion is to help clients recognize the true root issues that are occurring, given their specific symptoms, with the goal of addressing these issues in order to lead healthy and hopeful lives. My passion is utilizing techniques from primarily Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treatment modalities, as well as others that seem best suited for each individual client. I have utilized these approaches to successfully help individuals overcome grief, trauma, loss, and poor self-esteem issues, among other things.

Women seek me out to help build boundaries and self-confidence while trying to manage the stressors of life. Most of the women that come to see me believe, if they can "just do a little better" then they will eventually find the perfect balance; only to find, the amount of effort they put in doesn't change their outcome. I also work with people in the LGBTQ+ community and people that love someone in the LGBTQ+ community struggling to adapt to the changes happening in their life. Ultimately, maybe you're just seeking a sense of self or belonging while dealing with emotional consequences of being rejected by toxic mainstream culture.

Working with Children, Teens, Adults, Families, and Groups is my passion. All people that struggle with anxiety, mood disorders, personality, attention , trauma issues, etc. The goal is to focus on the need of the client. My philosophy is to meet the client where they are, allowing for them to lead the treatment and trust me in moments where they feel stuck, to help them manage those moments and get themselves back to their true selves. I want my clients to feel empowered to believe in themselves and their ability conquer their goals in therapy, so that they can manage their lives.

I believe that we all have the ability to heal, and that this ability lies within. At times we need someone to walk the journey with us to help us find our inner strength and courage so that we can make positive changes. I believe it is important to work from an integrative perspective as we cannot separate the mind from the body. I see the therapeutic process as a sacred journey, and I would be honored to walk a part of your journey with you.

Most likely, if you're reading this, it's because you've hit that wall - and what you do next could make it a true turning point in your life. Do you find yourself feeling anxious and unsatisfied? Even stagnant and exhausted from carrying that proverbial monkey around? I'm absolutely confident that I can help. Why? Because for years I have successfully worked with the most extreme and complex trauma cases. How? RELATIONSHIP. Yes, I'm extensively trained with a litany of certifications, but that is far less important than my personality and approach. Why?
