About Amanda
I am Amanda French, a licensed professional counselor with a doctorate in psychology. I began my career as an educator, and my time spent teaching kindergarten deeply informs my gentle, patient approach to therapy today. I am committed to ensuring children, teens, and adults feel truly understood as they develop the emotional strength to flourish. Whether we connect through interactive play or structured coping methods, my mission is to provide your family with a safe, encouraging environment. I am dedicated to helping every client cultivate resilience and find harmony within their everyday lives.
Child-Centered Play Therapy: A Safe Space to Grow
Play allows children to naturally process their world. Here, your child leads the way while I offer supportive presence and guidance, helping them navigate deep emotions at their own pace. To ensure lasting success, I partner with you through consistent check-ins to bridge their growth between our sessions and home.
Compassionate Support for the Journey Ahead
Navigating life’s ups and downs can feel heavy, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’ll work together using practical tools from DBT and CBT to help you untangle difficult thoughts and find a more peaceful rhythm in your daily life. My goal is to be a warm, steady presence while you discover new ways to care for yourself and your relationships.
