Amanda Duran

My communication style

I am here to listen, guide, and support processing. I have been described as warm and inviting. I like to integrate humor when appropriate and if people are comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since a young age, I have enjoyed being "that friend" who will listen and support others. I care deeply about people and their well-being and enjoy supporting people. After benefiting as a Client from family therapy, I discovered a career that could use my passion and developed skills. I believe God led me to become a therapist to help others.

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients to set goals, as I believe the therapeutic process is personal and should be tailored to each individual, couple, or family. I enjoy setting SMART goals at the beginning of the therapeutic relationship and revisiting progress throughout the process.

Our first session

During the initial assessment, I will introduce myself, explain the process of therapy, answer questions, do some housekeeping regarding logistics, and complete a psychosocial assessment. I like to conclude the initial session by discussing goals and visualizing success.

I identify as...
