Ever feel as though there is much on your mind but no one to share it with? Like no one will understand what it is that you have to say? Are these thoughts or feelings leading to depression or anxiety? Or perhaps you've experienced trauma in your life, and it is not resolved? Let me be the one to listen, support you, and assist in navigating or healing your journey. My name is Amanda Lewis, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
My approach
I use a warm, non-judgmental, empathetic approach so that you feel safe while allowing me to provide not only support but skills to assist you in healing and finding new hope in your life - whether it is work, school, family, or relationships. I have been trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and I use a variety of modalities in my practice, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strategic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, to name a few.

My specialties include ADHD, adolescents/teens, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, child abuse or neglect, coping skills, depression, dual diagnosis, family conflict, emotional disturbance, grief, impulsivity, job stress, marital/pre-marital issues, life transitions, mood disorders, oppositional defiance, panic attacks, parenting, peer relationships, personality disorders, relationship issues, school issues, sleep or insomnia, stress, women's issues, thought disorders, trauma, and PTSD.
My communication style

My approach is warm and supportive, as I help you navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and find renewed hope. I tailor my communication to your unique needs, ensuring you feel heard and understood throughout our therapeutic journey.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts (MA) degree from Brandman University in Riverside, CA, where I studied from August 2015 to May 2018. My education and training have prepared me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help individuals heal and find renewed hope.
My goals for you
My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we will work to develop coping strategies, build resilience, and make positive changes to improve your mental health and overall well-being. I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey of growth and healing.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I will listen attentively to your story, concerns, and goals. We'll collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings openly.
