Amanda Mead

Amanda Mead understands that suffering from anxiety can feel like falling into quicksand—the more one fights it, the deeper they may sink. Those who feel lost in their struggle with anxiety or find it challenging to articulate their emotions can benefit from her compassionate approach. She recognizes how individual caregivers may prioritize others’ needs while neglecting their own self-care. Amanda firmly believes that each person possesses the power to transform their life story, and she views psychotherapy as a vital tool for self-empowerment. Through her guidance, clients can envision themselves as both the author and main character of their own lives, equipped to create meaningful change. As a narrative therapist, she uses storytelling as a powerful mechanism for healing, acknowledging that the way one experiences life is shaped by their internal narratives. Often, outside influences or negative experiences can script unhelpful chapters in their life stories. Amanda's goal is to foster open and trusting dialogue, enabling clients to reauthor their narratives, regain control, and heal. With an understanding of the vulnerability that comes with seeking help, Amanda brings optimism, hope, perseverance, and compassion to her practice. She wholeheartedly walks alongside her clients on their journey toward greater insight, self-awareness, and personal growth.
