Amanda Overocker

I am a professional counselor, consultant, human development and nature healing specialist. I am licensed with the state of North Carolina Board for Licensed Professional Counselors (#6516) and a National Certified Counselor (#229164). I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education in 1996 and both Masters and Specialists degrees of Education in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Florida in August of 2000.

I like to approach therapy with an open mind by empowering you to bring your whole self to the therapy session as you feel comfortable. I believe it is my job to hold sacred space for you to discover your authentic self in whatever form that takes. Albeit it through talk therapy, creative arts, or somewhere in between. We'll co-create a working treatment plan and and from there you get to explore the many facets of this thing called life.

Whatever brings you in: trauma, grief, struggling with dissociation, anxiety or depression, it's my hope that by providing a soft place to land, you will feel comfortable enough in your own skin to begin to be curious to explore what's on your mind. You'll feel acknowledged, respected and empowered as an individual, as a human being, with rights and needs, through the compassionate and empathic way that I will relate with you. From, the very first session, you can begin to claim back your power.
