Amanda Thompson
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Psychotherapist
I specialize in working with trauma, and understand how layers of stress impact our functioning. I'm here to help you heal, grow, and thrive at your best.
Do you question whether it is safe to prioritize your own healing? Maybe you’ve been feeling caught in the undertow of people pleasing patterns in your relationships, unsure of how to find your way to shore. Perhaps the negative load you carry around feels heavy, while trying to keep your head above water. You seek a sense of self-empowerment and confidence to make decisions, without consulting several friends first. You want to be familiar with ways to soothe anxiety. You’d like to be able to offer yourself that darn self-compassion without cringing or feeling discomfort in the process. If this feels like you, I’d love to chat. While you are here, send me an email, and we can set up a consultation. You may be thinking, “my stuff isn’t so bad really, I’ll be fine.” But, I am here to tell you that your anxiety, disconnection, and loneliness are all painful. And guess what? You deserve healing. You deserve to feel at home within yourself.
