Getting to know Amanda Poso

Hi there, I'm Amanda! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a mom, and person who deeply understands what it feels like to be disconnected from yourself while performing in daily life. Although CBT improved my mindset, my body was still carrying stress until I discovered somatic and spiritual healing. My practice is aimed toward helping others reconnect with themselves My focus Mothers and Parents who are navigating the new life-transition of balancing career, family, household, and health. Together, we can explore the best various of yourself, limiting beliefs, external/internal motivation for chance, and overcome barriers to behavioral change. We will integrate cognitive restructuring alongside body awareness/movement. My approach My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in genuine curiosity. I believe we heal when we feel safe to explore our stories, reconnect with our bodies, and rediscover who we are beneath survival. I bring warmth, humor, and compassion into each session, trusting that while I can help guide the path, you are the expert on your own life My communication style I tend to show up authentically, with warmth, curiosity, and compassion. I enjoy creating a relaxed space where we can talk about the big things, celebrate the small wins, laugh when it’s needed, and spend a few moments catching up on how your week has been. I also enjoy teaching about concepts and terminology so we can develop a shared language. My journey to mental healthcare After working with at-risk youth for many years, becoming a mom reshaped my understanding of healing. My journey taught me the power we have in creating healthy children. Today, I help women reconnect with themselves because empowered mothers create stronger families and lasting generational change. The kids didn’t need ME, they needed their mom.
