Getting to know Amanda Kelly
I bring 18 years of experience in education and mental health to help people who feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, stressed or burned out. I support clients in making sense of their emotions, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and building practical tools for everyday life.
Alongside the emotional insight work, I also focus on real-world functioning: executive skills like planning, follow-through, goal setting, and creating systems that fit your life. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to build stability. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University and am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I focus on creating a comfortable space where you can talk openly about what’s been going on. I’ll ask questions to understand your experiences and what you want to work on in therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying clear goals and a direction for treatment. I want you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and clear about next steps.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With 18 years of experience as a teacher and school administrator specializing in 504 and special education, I bring a unique system-wide perspective to my therapeutic practice that benefits clients of all ages. My diverse background—including a clinical internship split between private practice and educational settings—enables me to understand the deep intersections of systemic pressure, family dynamics, and individual mental health. Whether you are an adult navigating workplace burnout or relationship stress, or a young person transitioning into a new stage, my varied experience allows me to provide practical, real-world strategies that help you thrive across all areas of your life.

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.
