Meet Amanda:
Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Amanda’s journey into the field of affair recovery began after her own experiences with marital infidelity and compulsive sexual behavior (sexual addiction).
Her personal story makes her relatable and empathetic to her clients pain, confusion and the arduous road that coins recovery.
Along with infidelity recovery, her clinical mental health counseling and life-coach training qualify her in the support of clients struggling with often underlying root issues such as anxiety, trauma, intimacy disorders and family of origin issues.
The feelings of alienation are great. I realized quickly most of my friends, family & much of the mental health community, although well intentioned, intensified the isolation and hopelessness. I needed support from a professional who could relate to my situation.”
