For other age groups, she integrates various therapies, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to effectively cater to the unique challenges faced by each client. Amanda is devoted to creating a safe space that nurtures hope, healing, and empowerment. While her Christian faith energizes her practice, she deeply respects each person's individual journey and is committed to honoring the diverse beliefs of her clients when discussing the incorporation of faith into therapy.
