Amanda Harmon, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amanda!

My goal is to help you find healing and growth from past trauma and mental health challenges. I aim to be a trusted guide in your journey towards self-awareness and improved well-being.

My focus

I primarily work with adults, typically treating trauma-related conditions, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and depression. My approach is tailored to each individual, integrating evidence-based modalities such as EMDR and DBT. I also incorporate building coping strategies and useful tools to help manage daily stress.

My approach

I offer specialized, evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, DBT, and CPT. I strive to create a safe and supportive space. Here, individuals can gently explore healing from a traumatic past while we work together to develop essential coping strategies and strengthen relationship skills to help manage daily stressors.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. I bring a calm presence, a touch of humor when appropriate, and a steady belief in each person's capacity for growth and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a therapist allows me to witness transformation in real time: the moment someone feels truly seen, the shift when pain begins to soften, the courage it takes to rewrite old narratives. What drives me is the privilege of walking alongside people in those moments, helping them reconnect with their own wisdom and resilience.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and evolving process. Early on, I help clients clarify what matters most to them—whether it's relief from symptoms, improved relationships, or personal growth. We revisit goals regularly to celebrate progress, adjust direction, or deepen the work.

Our first session

In a first session with me, clients can expect a calm, welcoming space where we begin building trust and understanding. I take time to learn about what brings them in, their history, and what they hope to gain from therapy. My goal is for clients to leave that first session feeling heard, respected, and a little more hopeful about what's possible.
