Amanda Arana

I've been in private practice for 12 years and work with young adults aged18 - 30 who find themselves stuck or struggling with life transitions.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and individualized to your needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic approaches and integrate strategies that can help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My goal is to support you as you navigate life transitions and work toward meaningful change.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin exploring what brought you to therapy. We will discuss areas you would like to address and what you hope to gain from counseling. I will explain what you can expect from the therapeutic process and invite you to ask questions so you feel comfortable moving forward. You do not need to have it all figured out before you begin. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and encouraged to take the next step.
