More about Amanda
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
After completing my Masters of Arts and Education Specialist degrees at Tennessee Technological University, I spent 8 years in the Nashville area. I obtained my license through supervised clinical work with the Vanderbilt Community Mental Health Center. Our team provided individual, group, and family therapy within Nashville Metro Schools Special Education program for Emotionally Disturbed children and adolescents, plus we aided educators and families with development of behavior intervention plans and classroom intervention plans/support. During this time, I also worked in the Vanderbilt Community Health Center providing outpatient therapy to adolescents and adults. Since relocating my experience has focused on working with adults and adolescents, in both residential treatment, and the outpatient setting. For the past 8 years I have been self-employed as a sole proprietor of my own practice, located in a suite that includes a Psychiatrist, two psychiatric nurse practitioners, and another therapist. My training and experience has a wide range, and includes but isn’t limited to the following: Trauma issues, including sexual/physical abuse and PTSD, Grief and loss, Anger management, Crisis intervention, Depression and Anxiety, Parent training regarding behavioral issues, Coping with chronic illness; mental health and general health conditions, and Diagnosing mental health issues.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amanda is a great counselor. I truly appreciate the help and the wisdom she shares during our counseling sessions. Being able to talk to her, and gain new perspective every week is something I look forward to every week.
I have only been working with Amanda for 3 weeks now, and am so grateful for the relationship we have built through our weekly phone call sessions. She is an excellent support, and is consistently in touch with various aspects of my life.
She has been very patient and understanding when I try to explain different things about what I'm going through and that's a huge help. And she has offered different techniques and exercises to help me deal with the different things that I'm going through which is also a huge help.
Amanda has been very supportive, helpful, kind and non-judgmental. It's been a pleasure speaking with her so far and I feel hopeful about my progress. Thank you!
