Amanda Fitzgerald

My communication style

I believe you are here because you are ready for change. I will use active, empathetic listening and reflections to better help you understand yourself and why certain patterns have developed. I provide an open, supportive, and non-judgmental space for us to explore your experiences on a deeper level.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I was young and had my first experience helping a friend. As I worked in schools with adolescents, every day I saw resilience and evidence of the ability to engage in positive change. I am inspired by people and am passionate about helping those who are seeking help. We all deserve good mental health.

My goals for you

I see us as partners in your journey, with you being the guide. We will collaborate and develop goals that matter to you. I believe talk therapy is only one piece that affects change, and will encourage you to practice the skills we talk about on your own, outside of our sessions. As your goals change, so will our plan to achieve them.

Our first session

Our first session will be us getting to know one another better. I want to use this time as a way to better understand your experiences and what brought you to therapy. Although it can be scary, I intend to create a welcoming space for you to feel comfortable sharing. We will move at your pace, and develop goals when you are ready.
