Getting to know Amanda Hancock

Amanda Hancock is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner (CA license #142164) at Process Therapy Institute. Amanda earned a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I see myself as a guide, helping you strengthen your ability to listen to your own intuition for designing a life filled with connection, purpose, joy, and the capacity to feel grounded even during the stormy parts. We will intentionally explore your inner world, creating greater allowance for every unfolding moment, and breathe through the challenging times, together.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am particularly passionate about helping individuals and couples explore, reconnect to, and experiment with their sexuality and intimate desires (sexual and nonsexual). My approach illuminates areas where there has been conflict, pain and shame, embraces individual motivations, creates a platform for self expression, and ventures into new ways of being and seeing. It is non-shaming, sex positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and present focused where I welcome all client driven outcomes for treatment. I also love helping teens and young adults gracefully move through big life transitions like attending college, entering the workforce, partnering, finding balance and deepening their connections with the world and communities around them. It can be difficult to see where others’ beliefs end and ours begin. My office is a container for all unvoiced wants, needs, and desires. I believe a life worth living is achievable at any age.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

For all clients, our work together will be collaborative and rooted in your unique goals and challenges. I will invite you into a combination of talk therapy, expressive arts, somatic work, guided imagery, sand tray, and other techniques to help us linger longer and reach a deeper, richer understanding of your experiences.
