Getting to know Amanda Shepard

Hi, I’m Amanda! I'm accepting NEW clients. As a therapist, my favorite parts of my job are connecting with people and helping my clients understand themselves. I believe some of the most important skills as a therapist are to actively listen, express genuine empathy, and challenge clients while also meeting them where they are. It can be daunting to start or resume therapy with a new therapist, so I strive to create a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. This may look like being patient with them or chatting about their hobbies. I often do individual therapy with older teens, young adults, and adults. I earned my MSEd in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah Hospital, which has equipped me with a solid foundation to support my clients effectively. Concerns I help treat include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, pornography addiction, faith crisis, and trauma. Modalities I use often are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), sand tray therapy, art therapy, and accelerated resolution therapy (ART). Therapy can be hard and rewarding work. Why not do that work with a therapist you can connect with and who works hard to truly understand you? If I sound like a good fit to work with you, please reach out—I look forward to meeting you! When I’m out of the office, I enjoy making crafts, playing video games, watching scary movies, and visiting my local farmers market.
