Amanda Carriker

Hi there! My name is Amanda, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a heart for helping others! Until I became a parent myself, I did not realize how triggering raising kids could be. With that realization, I saw a need for therapy for caregivers working to process their own trauma and grief while raising emotionally intelligent children. I am eager to combine my expertise in trauma work to the complexity of parenting (in all its forms!).

I follow the lead of the client, coming from a place of genuine interest. The client is the expert, and I am ready to follow their lead! Humor and sharing of common interests is key in building a strong therapeutic rapport!

Clients can expect to form a strong therapeutic rapport with me. It is my hope that clients leave sessions with me feeling less alone, validated and ready with some real life strategies as they move throughout their day!
