Amanda Smith

We each have an inner wisdom (your intuition!) that knows who we are and what we need. Sometimes the pain and the difficulty of life disconnects us from this inner wisdom and prevents us from living an authentic and fulfilled life. The path back to yourself is different for everyone, and it is often dark and winding and filled with obstacles. While I can’t walk that path for you, I can walk that path with you. By your side, I will shine the light to illuminate the path and give you the tools you need to navigate the path. You don’t have to do this alone. I will support you each step of the way with patience, warmth, and without judgment. Are you experiencing overwhelming stress or anxiety? Have you experienced past or recent trauma? Would you like to feel more intimacy in your romantic relationship? Do you want to improve your sex life? Let's work together! I am passionate about helping you overcome the traumas (both large and small) that you have experienced in life. I specialize in working with PTSD, complex and developmental trauma, dissociation, and sexual abuse. I am trained in EMDR and Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy and integrate these with parts work, somatic work, and mindfulness to help you heal. I also enjoy working with couples to help partners connect in a more meaningful way and improve their communication and intimacy - regardless of their relationship status. I understand that sexuality can often be difficult to discuss, and I focus on helping individuals and couples work through sexual issues and difficulties. I am an LGBTQIA+ and kink affirmative therapist and enjoy working with individuals and couples from all walks of life and relationship styles.
