Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Kentucky

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.

With over 25 yrs. of counseling experience I can help you create a new chapter to your life story. Do you feel "stuck", repeating patterns that get in the way of you having the life you want? Do you battle with depression, anxiety or low self-worth or are compulsive behaviors interfering with you achieving your goals? Do you struggle with family relationships or getting over childhood issues? Are you an adult or teen with ADHD & need help developing strategies to be successful? Do you have unresolved trauma?

When our mental health is suffering, every day life can often be difficult to manage. As a therapist I specialize in Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and trauma. Often we feel we have to live up to an Instagram/perfect life, but you don't have to go through those feelings alone. Together we will start to restructure a more realistic mindset with a progression versus perfection approach. Let me help you gain control, improve your quality of life and improve your relationships with others. Together we will manage the difficulties, build skills and improve everyday life existence.

I work with children, adolescents, families and adults to address a wide range of emotional, behavioral and interpersonal problems such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, and ADHD. I work with my clients to gain insight, break patterns and thrive. Please check out: www.lifesjourneyky.com/

Hello! If you feel unsafe everywhere you are, lack trust in yourself or others, your sense of power/control is shattered, lack self-esteem, and feel distanced from intimacy, then I'd love to hear your story. If you had a childhood and are part of a culture then therapy would be great for you! Want to talk trash about the state of the world? I gotchu. Want to collaborate on solutions? Let's get it. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, empowered, and resilient.

A client stated after a session with calmness and clarity in their voice, "That felt like a deep tissue massage of the mind".

But with IFS therapy, I can help you access the healing energy within. Together, we can befriend and heal the parts inside you that are stuck in extreme roles and help these parts feel calm and balanced. "I experienced a shift that changed everything. I can't recommend Natalie highly enough."- Client.
