Dr. Amanda Gutierrez, Psy.D

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page! No matter what stage you are in, whether it's just curiosity about the therapy process, trying to find a therapist you feel comfortable opening up to, or you are ready to hit the "Request Appointment” button, Congratulations! you are already one step closer to having a life that you feel in control of. Often, individuals are well aware of the obstacles holding them back from living life to the fullest but struggle to overcome them. Many find that merely discussing their issues provides temporary relief but fails to yield lasting change. With my expertise as a behavioral therapist and a DBT-Linehan Board Certified Clinician we can do more than just talk about what's troubling you. Together, we can work towards reducing or eliminating the factors contributing to your suffering, allowing you to regain control and steer your life in the direction you desire. I specialize in addressing a range of common challenges and behaviors, such as: Emotion Dysregulation Postpartum Depression and Anxiety Anxiety Based Disorders (including GAD, PTSD, Phobias, Social Anxiety, and OCD) Therapy for Therapists Anger Management Depression Impulsivity Shame My experience extends to working with various demographics, including adults, older adults, and high-conflict couples as well as famiies dealing with the challenging behaviors of their loved ones. This is by no means an exhaustive list so if you aren’t seeing your specific issue or concern, please feel free to reach out to me so we can discuss. Finally, an additional area of interest I have is working with other mental health professionals. Therapists often need therapy, in fact many programs require it. As mental health professionals we hold a tremendous amount of space for others emotion, pain, & suffering often leaving very little room for our own. If you are a mental health professional looking for this kind of support to better your own life and practice let's work together to start prioritizing you. By fostering understanding, promoting collaboration, and maintaining an approachable demeanor, we will embark on a journey to create a life that holds personal meaning and fulfillment for you. Investing in your well-being through dedicated treatment and finding a therapist with whom you can openly communicate is essential. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation to determine if we are a good fit for working together on your path to well-being.
