Amanda Hough, LCSW - EMDr certified therapist

 I am so glad that you have taken the time to seek support in overcoming the obstacles in your life. I know finding a new therapist can be a difficult journey, but I assure you, it is worth it.   

Do you avoid taking chances in your life, career, or relationships due to fears of not being good enough? Do you feel controlled by feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and worthlessness? I provide a space in which you can feel safe exploring and working through these difficult challenges. My goal is to help you feel validated and accepted, as I believe these qualities are essential in having the confidence to both face and overcome suffering. Through our work together, I want to support you in feeling empowered, unburdened by the past, and capable of creating the life you want to live.

In addition to providing support through talk therapy, I provide trauma-informed  treatment to help you identify and process past challenges that may be impeding movement in your life. I teach useful skills that can help you manage difficult emotions, regulate behaviors, and improve relationships. I have experience working with a variety of needs, including depression, anxiety, complex trauma, relationship challenges, grief, suicidality, self-injury, loneliness, and an overall lack of fulfillment.  

The treatment I provide is integrative, incorporating components from talk therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness.
