Amanda Davis-Scott

My primary focus is working with first responders, veterans, and their families to manage day to day stressors including issues around parenting, work-life balance, and issues including depression and anxiety. I am a perinatal mental health counselor with training in working with individuals (and couples) during pregnancy, postpartum and navigating parenting in the early childhood years. In addition, I have a passion for supporting caregivers/parents with children with mental health disorders. I believe that success in therapy is determined largely by the connection built between the participant and the therapist.

My specialties include perinatal mental health conditions including birth trauma, miscarriage/stillbirth, postpartum anxiety, PTSD, and postpartum depression. In addition, I have training in EMDR, TIR (traumatic incident reduction), and CISM. I am a certified CBT for psychosis provider. Lastly, for caregivers, my work is based in LEAP (Dr. Amador).

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma related to occupational stress, military careers, or pregnancy. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms after completion of intake sessions/history gathering and beginning the work focused in evidenced based interventions including EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy.
