About Me
I enjoy working with adults to help change patterns of behavior and to process trauma that may be making life difficult. It's common to experience situations, events, or relationships that can throw us off balance or skew how we see ourselves and the world. We have to respond, but sometimes we don't have the tools to respond the way we want to. Maybe it's overwhelm or a feeling of disconnection - something keeps us stuck in the same old pattern. This is where finding the right therapist for you can be a life-altering experience. Successful therapy is about building a trusting relationship that can guide you back to your truest and most fulfilled self.
Education & Experience
I am EMDR certified, an EMDRIA approved Consultant, and IFS level 2 trained. I lean on specific tools in my work - EMDR, IFS, and ACT can transform your life. These therapeutic modalities use the brain’s natural ability to heal itself, bringing us to a place of balance so that we can fully function in our lives and relationships. They are effective in healing core wounds and creating new neuropathways in the brain, allowing you to resume a fulfilling life. I also offer therapy intensives for those who would prefer longer sessions to a weekly commitment. Please reach out to me through my website for more information! www.amandasteed.com
