“She is warm and inviting as well as authentic which drew me to her. Her nurturing nature allowed me to feel comfortable opening up. She also offers a holistic approach which focuses on using our bodies and intuition as a guide through difficult situations. She is encouraging, empowering, and challenges me to sit within my discomfort in order to grow. I have grown so much and have overcome so much throughout the last several months with her help.”

Getting to know Amanda Sneed

My ideal client is anyone that is seeking change and looking to create more balance in their life. My goal is to create a normalcy in the process of finding support during times when we need clarity. Whether or not there is an identified focus, I will walk individuals through gaining awareness and increasing skills to enhance life functioning through a client centered and empowerment focus. I work with adults in a diverse range of issues. My experience includes working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, difficult life transitions, trauma (including working with women in a domestic violence shelter). I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and incorporate education and mindfulness approaches in conjunction to support each other. My professional experiences include a large social service agency and the Alzheimer's Association, in addition to working in group practice providing psychotherapy. I also have a working knowledge to include a holistic background by receiving specialty training from the Chicago College of Healing Arts. You will often find my rescue dogs accompanying me in our sessions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is that any individual will take away a feeling of validation. I strive to support people and validate their feelings and experiences as real for them. I wish to create a safe space to make connections and learn tools to decrease the intensity of the discomfort they are experiencing. Seeking therapy is a vulnerable and brave step toward self and I hope to encourage that by normalizing the process.

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.
