I provide Pastoral Christian Counseling and Life Coaching in the Hampton Roads area. As a Pastoral Counselor and Coach my professional philosophy is that I am committed to the same professional standards and code of ethics that are essential in clinical counseling. The goal of pastoral counseling is to help individuals think biblically about their current struggles in the context of a confidential, and in a caring environment.

A lifetime of experiences and challenges has the ability to hinder us from recognizing our true potential to heal and live fulfilling lives. I enjoy working with clients that are ready to change their lives or are unsure of where to begin.

My approach to therapy is primarily cognitive-behavioral emphasizing solution-focused therapy. I include clients in the development of personalized treatment plans and will use a holistic approach, which means I may use different methods to help you meet your goals including reality therapy, family systems therapy and homework.

Life presents us with a variety of situations everyday that can be challenging, but it's not the situation itself that impacts our lives, it's the way we perceive it and handle it, that determines the impact it has on our lives. I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy and mindfulness to help individuals discover new ways to cope with life challenges and move forward towards a more satisfying life.

Are you tired, worn-out, frustrated, and feel like no matter what you do you can’t get ahead? Feeling this way is exhausting, you are dissatisfied, relationships aren't what you want them to be, and you may be wondering if this is what life is meant to be like? Do you find yourself struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep? Feeling jittery and on edge, experiencing anxiety that keeps getting in the way of you being the best version of yourself? Are you turning to food to cope? You’ve wondered if talking to someone might help, but you are hesitating, unsure what to expect and afraid it might be uncomfortable.

You are deserving of the changes you wish to see in yourself and your relationships, and one way to begin is by feeling seen, heard, and recognized for who you are as an authentic human being. Therapy can help you feel healthier, more balanced, and more connected within your life. You are already whole, and the path of healing is a lifelong voyage that you are capable of experiencing and embracing. Taking steps towards healthy change is one of the most significant acts of self-love, and I would be honored to help you in navigating through this journey if it feels aligned with your needs.

In all forms, relationships are a guiding part of our lives and directly impact how we live. My practice is guided by psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory, and I believe therapist and client thinking together creates insight and deeper understanding, which allows you to learn about your inner world. As you come to know yourself, a positive space opens up to afford you an opportunity to grow, evolve, and flourish. As a psychoanalyst I have studied for many years including infant and young child observational studies, my clinical experience includes trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and life-changing events.

I work with clients of all ages, from childhood through adulthood on a multitude of concerns. From those struggling with anxiety to social skills to depression. My clients are looking to find their true self and get unstuck.

My approach to therapy is rooted in a deep respect for your personal journey. Together, we can address the goals you want to work on while highlighting the strengths you already have. Therapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and–most importantly–at your pace. Whether you have a specific goal you’d like to accomplish or need some help figuring out where to begin; I’m here for you.

I create a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering self-awareness and self-reflection to gain insights into patterns and behaviors, developing effective coping strategies and problem-solving skills to navigate challenges, fostering the cultivation of healthy and supportive relationships, promoting self-compassion and self-acceptance, addressing and processing past traumas or unresolved issues, and facilitating the development of personal values, meaning, and purpose in life.

Are you the strong friend who silently bears the weight of the world while yearning for a moment of peace amid the chaos of work and life? Carrying the weight of the world in silence is a heavy burden and even the strong need a sanctuary. Sometimes we need help learning strategies to manage it all.

Hello! I am Amanda Casius and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in adolescents and adults.. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and transition issues.

I believe we can all reach our goals and live a fulfilled life, we just need a helping hand to clear the path and see our way a bit better.

What would it be like to experience the world, and yourself, without the assumption that you are a problem to be fixed? This is one of the questions I love to explore in my work with clients. I believe all people are inherently worthy, resilient, and capable of growth (Yep, even you). I work collaboratively with my clients to uncover their unique values and strengths while identifying practical strategies and resources to make life more comfortable now.
