Getting to know Amanda Michael
?I'm just so frustrated and angry! I don't even know why!?
Have you ever felt that? That sense of confusion or desperation to know WHY you feel the way you do or what emotion you are even feeling? Well, my name is Amanda, and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. I hope to help you with that! I have my Master's in Counseling from Frostburg State University, and my overall goal is to provide my clients a safe space to open up and process any thoughts or feelings they have.
I have almost 5 years of experience, with 4 of those being post-grad. I have a good bit of experience working as a crisis counselor, so crisis intervention, management, safety planning, and solution-based therapy are areas I do not shy away from. I also enjoy outpatient therapy-that means you! I have worked with many clients who have suffered from trauma (childhood, relational, adult, etc.), anxiety, depression, ADHD, and much more.
I strive to maintain a safe and nonjudgmental environment for my clients. Regarding my style, I tend to be personable and warm. I want to listen to your story and what has shaped you into you before jumping headfirst into the deeper emotions. I plan to put myself in your shoes and into your darkness so we can find the light together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
As my client, I expect you to feel heard, accepted, validated, and safe with me. You can expect to take away a new way of thinking and processing your thoughts. You can expect to feel your emotions and have a deeper understanding as to why you feel or act a certain way. You’ll have more tools for coping with difficult situations and overall have a more positive quality of life mentally!

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.
