Amanda Benson Counseling is focused on providing high-quality and professional counseling services to adolescents 16 years old and up, and to adults suffering from symptoms and/or diagnoses including Bipolar Disorders, Depression Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, some Personality Disorders, social/relational struggles, stress management, mood dysregulation, irritability, self-esteem issues, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and interpersonal issues.

 

 

With over ten years of experience working with individuals living with mental illness, I have experience and training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other areas of intervention. My approach to treatment is client focused, stage matched to best meet client goals, and integrates personal strengths. Specific therapeutic goals include discussing and changing maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors, and learning and using coping skills to promote motivation and positive life changes.

 

I provide a safe and confidential counseling setting. I believe that working collaboratively and in partnership with clients, as well as leaving clients feeling heard and valued is important to facilitating change and healing. 

 

 

If you or a loved one are in need of counseling services, I would be happy to hear from you.

 

 

If you are in crisis or this is an emergency, please call 911 or go to your local emergency room for help.
