Amanda Janulis

My name is Amanda Janulis, and I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2001. Whether you're navigating one of life's transitions, struggling with anxiety or depression, grappling with why you feel 'stuck' or unfulfilled, or facing the challenges of relationships with family, friends, or a partner, I'm here to listen and support with an open heart and mind. Rest assured, if this is your first time venturing into a therapeutic space, I will meet you where you are. You set the pace.

I believe that we all experience times of struggle or tension in our lives where our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors feel out of step with our 'ideal self', causing us discomfort and distress. Sometimes we need to revisit the origins of our 'ideal self' and make adjustments, and other times what is needed is self-compassion and acceptance of our messy humanness. I believe every one of us has the innate ability to heal ourselves; sometimes we just need someone to walk alongside us.

During our initial meeting, we'll spend some time getting to know each other and discuss what's bringing you into therapy. My goal is to get a sense of your struggles within the context of your life - both past and present. More than any expertise I bring to the table, the quality of our therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of a positive outcome for you, so creating an atmosphere of trust and openness is my number one priority.
