Amanda Strider

MA, RCC

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, rooted in empowering you to create meaningful change in your life. We’ll focus on what matters most to you in a way that feels authentic, and aligned with your needs. My hope is that from our very first meeting, you’ll feel safe, seen, and supported. We'll work together to cultivate self-compassion, uncover your strengths, and build resilience to help you navigate life's challenges with confidence. 

Therapy can be scary and hard, but it can also be rewarding, life-changing, and even fun (yes, really!).

my values

compassion

Compassion at the heart of my therapeutic practice. It's the glue that binds the therapeutic relationship, fostering trust, acceptance, and genuine connection.

curiosity

Curiosity is more than just a desire to know. In therapy, curiosity encourages us to dig beneath the surface our experiences, uncovering hidden truths, patterns, and insights that can lead to profound breakthroughs.

collaboration

Therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert in your lived experience and your input is an important part of our work together. My role is to walk beside you as a compassionate guide, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for exploration.
