Amanda Bouza

Amanda (she/her), is the owner of Awaken & Bloom Counseling, PLLC. Welcome, I am honored to walk with you on this journey of growth and flourishing. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and creative space where curiosity meets authenticity and you are fully heard and understood. All parts of your experience are welcome—joy, pain, uncertainty, and everything in between. You can bring your whole self, and I will honor every aspect with compassion. I am passionate about supporting individuals living with trauma, anxiety, and depression, helping performing artists rebuild self-confidence, guiding those recovering from eating disorders, and working with adults navigating life transitions. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver and have over a decade of experience as a professional dancer, which informs my integrative and culturally responsive approach. Our sessions may include exploring the mind-body connection, harmonizing inner conflicts between thoughts and emotions, focusing on the present with Gestalt techniques, cultivating mindfulness, exploring a non-judgmental stance, and creating safety with trauma-informed care. Together, we will harness your strengths to help you achieve your goals, deepen your self-awareness, and enhance your relationships. Amanda is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate; Supervised by: Chaya M. Abrams, Ph.D., LPC, LAC. OFFICE LOCATION: 5353 W. Dartmouth Ave, Suite 305, Lakewood, CO 80227
