Getting to know Amanda Clavell

I became a therapist because I believe change is possible for everyone, and I've seen firsthand how resilient people truly are. My favorite part of this work is sitting with someone in their hardest moment, holding that pain with them, and helping them find their way through it. I have years experience with individuals and couples, and enjoy working through tough moments of stress and chaos, helping you find a clear path forward. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Bachelor's in Human Development and Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. Throughout my education, I focused the majority of my research on relationships, life transitions, and the impact the family unit has on our later year. These experiences have deepened my understanding of identity, relationships, and belonging in ways that inform all of my work. I chose my graduate program for its emphasis on comprehensive clinical training, systemic and interpersonal dynamics, cultural responsiveness, and a strong commitment to working with diverse and underserved populations.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I show up to every session with genuine care, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story. Building real trust is at the center of everything I do, because I know that's where healing begins. I began my graduate internship in 2019 as a therapist at an outpatient treatment center, supporting clients through a wide range of complex traumas. Together, we work from the ground up to understand diagnoses, develop coping skills, and accomplish meaningful goals. Since graduating in 2021, I have worked in private practice, primarily assisting clients struggling with anxiety, depression, adhd, relationship challenges, major life transitions, parenting stresses, boundary setting, and grief. Clients often tell me they appreciate working with me for my compassion, expertise, insights, strong memory, and ability to be both supportive and honest, even blunt when necessary. With my diverse background, I take a personalized approach to therapy, tailoring each session to fit the unique needs of my clients rather than relying on a one size fits all method. I draw from a range of evidence based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to provide the most effective and individualized support.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Each session usually begins with a brief check-in: how you’ve been feeling, what’s been going on since we last met, and anything that’s top of mind. I’ll also ask how any homework or strategies we discussed went, and whether they were helpful. From there, we’ll dive into whatever feels most important that day. You’ll be doing most of the talking while I listen, ask questions, and help guide the conversation. My role is to support you, help you explore patterns or challenges, and work toward the goals we’ve set together. Every session can look a little different, depending on your needs. I often give homework because real change happens between sessions. I know life can be busy, so homework will look different week to week, and I always tailor it to what works for you. Sometimes it’s practicing a mantra or self affirmation, other times it might be writing a letter or having a conversation we’ve practiced in session. Follow through outside of therapy can be a powerful part of your growth.
