Amanda Adams, LPC

My name is Amanda Adams, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania.​ 

​

I became a therapist because I am passionate about creating a safe space for others to share their story in order to promote healing.  Throughout my professional experience, one of the most helpful things I have learned (and continue to remind myself of) is that we are not alone in our struggles. Depression, anxiety, chronic health struggles, and pain are all really good at convincing us that we are. But that is a lie that only keeps us trapped and isolated.

​

Sometimes life gets in the way of the things we would like to achieve. Anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or chronic illness stand as a roadblock to who we really are. As your therapist, I provide support in a non-judgmental atmosphere that feels real and authentic. I offer a personalized, laid back approach that helps to make therapy a comfortable experience. I'm not here to give advice or tell you how to live your life, but rather to provide you with coping skills that allow you to weather the storm more confidently.

​

In therapy I pull from a variety of modalities including person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and emotion focused. When needed, solution focused interventions can be helpful and included as well. In addition to my listed specialties, I am passionate about working with those who are interested in integrating their faith into the therapeutic space, and can provide Christian counseling if desired. I also have experience incorporating a variety of other spiritual and religious perspectives into therapy.
