Amanda Phillips, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, APCC #14941

I provide a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach grounded in attachment, humanistic, and family systems principles. I specialize in work with youth and teens struggling with big emotions, anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues, and parents feeling exhausted by recurring patterns at home. Every behavior tells a story. Whether your child is melting down, withdrawing, or struggling to cope, my goal isn't simply to stop the behavior - it's to understand the emotions and unmet needs beneath it so lasting change can occur.

For clients who desire it, Christian counseling is available.

How I Can Help

Children

Anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, confidence, and coping skills.

Teens

Depression, identity, relationships, school stress, and life transitions.

Families

Strengthening communication, connection, and understanding.

My Approach

I integrate Trauma-Focused CBT, Emotion-Focused approaches, family systems perspectives, play-based interventions, and evidence-based care tailored to each client.
