Amanda Overson

Everyone has times where it feels like life is running them instead of them running life. It can be difficult to know how to choose the right therapist to guide you as you navigate and overcome these problems. My desire to help others overcome traumatic life events motivated me to pursue a master’s degree in Social Work. I have experience working with people of all ages, including children and adults. I am skilled at empowering clients to address their concerns associated with anxiety and depression. My eclectic approach to therapy, which might include EMDR, CBT, play and art modalities, helps meet the needs of each individual person.

I am trained in the use of EMDR, a technique known for its effectiveness treating trauma and PTSD, though I know each person is unique and not just one approach is right for everyone. I work to tailor interventions and concepts to meet the preference of each client. This personalized approach leads to a more productive therapeutic relationship.

The first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what you want to achieve. More importantly, it is an opportunity for you to interview me to determine whether or not you feel like we are a good fit. The goal is for you to feel like you are in control of the plan to get where you want to be.
