Getting to know Sandra Amado

Understanding, belonging, love, purpose, and a bright future are profound human needs. If you seek a different perspective because something feels amiss, you're on the right path. Acknowledging you need help and seeking it is the first step. Life's challenges aren't insurmountable; with proper guidance and practical skills, you can make progress. Together, we'll work towards your life objectives. With broad experience in individual, adolescent, young adult, family, and couples counseling, I apply Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Bible-based principles, along with Existential and Gottman approaches. These treatments target depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. Mental health is serious - perhaps you desire a fresh narrative but don't know where to begin or have a wounded heart hindering you from doing right. You matter because you are essential, and I provide the tools to succeed. Let's embark on a new journey together. In our initial sessions, we'll explore your issues and develop a treatment plan that tracks progress and alleviates symptoms. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll address traumas and relationship complexities that hamper your progress. You're not alone in these battles and deserve joy. Sharing about my personal life, I'm an avid tennis player, reader, music fan, and family person. As a bilingual speaker of Spanish and English, I aim to accommodate a wide audience. Two compelling quotes inspire me: "Whoever has hope has everything" and "The greatest glory in living lies [...] in rising every time we fall." As the Bible and Viktor Frankl stipulates, "As the Son has life..." and "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves".
