Amanda Pecha

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to express yourself. I practice active listening and offer space for reflection to help you process your experiences and gain deeper insight.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been driven by a deep desire to support others and a lifelong interest in human behavior and development. I began my career as an addiction counselor while pursuing my degree in clinical social work, and those early experiences solidified my commitment to this field.

My goals for you

I generally like to get a good understanding of what you would like to accomplish in our time working together. We will work collaboratively to break down these goals into SMART goals-- Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This will help bring structure to our meetings.

Our first session

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you-- who you are, what brought you into therapy, and what you would like to work on. I'll ask questions about your background, current challenges, and goals for the future to help build a clear picture of your needs. This will also be a chance for you to ask questions.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
