Getting to know Amanda Murphy-Smith

Therapy doesn’t have to be cold, clinical, or overwhelming. I offer a space that feels human, where you can exhale, be yourself, and feel truly supported. I work with teens and adults who are feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, depressed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, or just trying to get through the day, our work together will help you reconnect with your resilience and move forward in a way that feels real and sustainable. My approach My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and deeply collaborative. I integrate evidence-based modalities like DBT, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices, while also holding space for the complexity of being human. Sessions are customized to your needs. Some days we build concrete coping strategies, whereas other days we slow down and sit with emotions you’ve never been allowed to name. I honor all parts of your story and never expect you to leave pieces of yourself at the door. You're not just a diagnosis, you’re a full person, and your care should reflect that. My focus I specialize in working with clients who are often seen as the “strong one”—high-achievers, helping professionals, neurodivergent folks, caregivers, and those who’ve learned to keep going even when it hurts. I support people managing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression, trauma, grief, and identity-related stress. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their needs, exhausted by perfectionism, or unsure how to stop people-pleasing without guilt. If you're ready to build a relationship with yourself that feels honest, kind, and empowering, I’d be honored to walk with you. My communication style My communication style is warm, grounded, and real. You can expect a therapist who is attentive, empathetic, and not afraid to go deep, but also someone who knows when to bring in humor, metaphor, or pause for reflection.
