Getting to know Amanda Kalisz

Hi there, I'm Amanda! My name is Amanda Kalisz, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over ten years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Minnesota Rochester. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who are juggling work, kids, relationships, and finding time to also care for themselves. This often causes depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, and overwhelming feelings. My approach I specialize in anxiety, stress, trauma, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Hypnosis for smoking cessation to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. I work to help my clients set small, attainable goals that are realistic for them and can adjust over time. I also encourage finding a connection to a local community and/or nature. My focus The types of clients I typically work with include those processing grief, anxiety, depression, and adjusting to a major life event or health-related illness. I also support management of chronic diagnoses like bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or schizophrenia, as well as those who are trying to stop using a vape or cigarettes. My communication style My communication style is interactive, caring, and personable. I want my clients to feel they can be open and honest with me. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help and work with people. I started out working at a halfway house for adults with mental health diagnoses. From there, I worked with veterans and people struggling with addiction and homelessness. It brings me joy to see others feel better, move toward their personal goals, and get the most they can out of this journey we call life.
