Amanda McKinney, LISW-S

I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and self-harm behaviors. Throughout the therapeutic process, clients will work toward their self-determined goals with guidance and validation during sessions. Clients will be challenged and coached through each session and given various skills to utilize throughout their daily lives.

I specialize in working with those who struggle with or love someone who struggles with understanding/regulating their feelings and anyone who has ever been confused about why they acted the way they did in that moment. Thoughts, feelings, and actions are complicated concepts and understanding why we do what we do in certain situations can be confusing. Working toward better understanding these concepts and learning tools to slow down our response times is invaluable to reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and feelings of being out of control.
I teach practical tools to help manage emotions, explore identity, and improve relationships. I come alongside my clients and help them taylor a plan that is supportive and individualized. I strive to empower clients to find clarity, identify their values, make value-aligned choices, and enhance emotional well-being.
Life can be challenging and transitions are hard to navigate. As a certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your unique experience. Let's journey together, nurturing growth, resilience, and healing. Please reach out; I'm here to support you on your self-determined path.
