Getting to know Amanda Fernandez
Hello, I'm Amanda!
Life is ever-changing, and it can be challenging to manage and continue moving forward during difficult times. I am here to support and guide you in living a life where you feel in control and able to reach your full potential. Struggling with a mental health illness should not be seen as a normal part of life, and you do not need to feel alone in your journey.
I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, and together we can work toward achieving your goals. I have worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, career challenges, and more. My approach is informed by cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness. My counseling style is compassionate and client-centered. I believe each of us deserves respect, dignity, and an outlet where we can speak free of judgment.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of South Florida, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective, empathetic care tailored to your unique needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Every session is a collaboration between us. I always allow time for you to open up and speak about your week before getting to work and identifying a goal for the session. We will work together to identify exercises, solutions, and to challenge negative thought processes that might be getting in the way of your happiness. I always empower you at the end of the session to provide feedback and share what areas you want to continue our work on.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
