Getting to know Amanda Rios

Hi there, I'm Amanda! Welcome, if you are feeling overwhelmed by life then you are in the right place. You do not have to continue this venture alone. My name is Amanda and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. My approach In my clinical practice, I draw from theories such as CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR, Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Existential. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all. Together we will explore which model fits best to help alleviate feelings of anxiety, impulsivity, depression, and/or anger. My focus My goal in therapy is to support you in exploring issues and emotions that are currently impacting your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. Distressing feelings and behaviors often get in the way of who we want to be and what we want to achieve in life. I am here to provide compassionate care as you begin your journey toward healing and growth. My communication style I will create a safe and nurturing environment for you to express your feelings. As we work together to identify and work towards goals you can expect validation, evidenced-based interventions, and autonomy over treatment decisions. My journey to mental healthcare I spent 6 years as a social worker before I transitioned to therapy 4 years ago. Watching people transition from suicidality and hopelessness to falling in love with being alive was so magical and sacred that I knew this was where I was meant to be. Life is hard and change is uncomfortable, but you do not have to go through it alone. My passion is to help people connect to their authentic self by working through everything they have had to become to survive. My goals for you My purpose is to assist you in exploring who you are, increasing self-awareness, and working collaboratively to find a solution or change that is within reach. My first session with you In our first session together, we will explore what brings you to therapy, any symptoms or behaviors you would like to overcome.
