Getting to know Quantona Amado
Hello! I'm Queenie Amado, a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma and Arizona. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Northeastern State University Broken Arrow, and I have also completed graduate studies at The University of Oklahoma and The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. My therapeutic approach is centered on helping individuals understand their place in the world and how they can create a meaningful life. I focus on depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, mood disturbances, work-life balance, and crisis management.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach
My most commonly used therapeutic approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, emotional focus therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.
My focus
The clients I typically work with are individuals who are challenged with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, mood disturbances, and work-life balance; in addition to crisis management.
My communication style
I enjoy a conversational style of communication. Our sessions will typically feel like a check-in.
My journey to mental healthcare
I'm easy to talk to, genuinely care about mental health, and have an unbiased heart. I understand the feelings of being misunderstood and mentally displaced. What encourages me in this line of work is knowing I can help with one conversation at a time.
My goals for you
I approach setting goals at the beginning of our therapeutic relationship, goals are drafted and redrafted to ensure we have the same vision for your success. Each goal is matched with an identifiable objective.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My first session with you
We will have a brief introduction then therapeutic expectations are discussed. After, we'll complete or review assessments and begin narrowing our focus areas.
Then, the treatment plan is emailed listing tentative completion dates for each goal. A second detailed email is sent with your first assignment. In the second session, we’ll discuss the treatment plan and the first assignment and goal together. We are welcome to start the assignment before the second session.
Most of your progress will occur outside of the sessions, while the sessions are the time for you and I to discuss your progress and change techniques as needed; as well as, explaining and demonstrating methods and techniques.
