Getting to know Amanda Addison

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker specializing in trauma healing, anxiety, perfectionism and relationship or attachment-related difficulties. I believe each of us has the innate ability to heal and that therapy works best when you feel safe, seen and understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in interpersonal warmth, cultural humility and collaboration to support you in lightening the weight you’ve been carrying so you can feel like your true self.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is rooted in strengths-based, attachment-informed and psychodynamic frameworks. I have trained in trauma-informed best practices as a therapist, lawyer and yoga teacher and am passionate about providing a safe, supportive space for exploration, curiosity and client-led healing. I take an integrative approach that blends Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. Together, we will untangle old patterns, make sense of lived experiences and foster lasting growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our initial meetings we will get to know each other and lay the foundation for our work together, discussing your personal background, presenting issues, and goals. Moving forward, we will connect on a weekly or twice-weekly basis for 45 minute sessions where we will address present challenges, their roots, learn skills to manage difficult moments and improve overall wellbeing. Our sessions are tailored to your unique goals and needs, ensuring your values and preferences will help guide our collaborative process. My style is empathetic and responsive, with each session a new opportunity for exploration, insight, growth and transformation. As our work together evolves, we will continue to check-in about progress, evolving goals, or any other changes which support your wellbeing.
