Getting to know Amanda Wilhite

As an avid runner, I believe there is a strong connection between the mind and body, and I strive to incorporate a holistic approach in therapy. Whether offering nutritional suggestions on foods that help alleviate depressive symptoms or helping you identify a form of exercise that reduces your stress and anxiety, I view you as a ?whole person' rather than a collection of symptoms. Often described as patient and calm, I use these traits to create a safe space for you to explore your difficulties and find solutions. Practicing from a solution-focused perspective, I believe that even the smallest changes are steps in the right direction. I will work alongside you as a guide, focusing on your strengths to help you build upon what is already working. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Governors State University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support clients across diverse backgrounds and challenges.

What should a new client know about working with you?

The first session is typically an intake or 'getting to know you session.' My hope for the first session is that you feel heard and validated (I hope you feel this during other sessions too, but especially the first). As we continue with therapy, I utilize scaling questions to assess how you are feeling, as well as to see if we are getting closer to your goals. We also focus on 'exceptions' or times when the problem wasn't as bad and work to create more of those times.

In-network insurances

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.
