Amanda Sladky

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.

While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.

Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.

I have worked with a diverse population ranging from children to adults and have walked through many trials such as grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and planning for the future.

I desire to meet clients where they are with deep compassion, curiosity, and encouragement. I gravitate toward compassionate counseling approaches and evidence-based practices (Internal Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, attachment) that emphasize the worth and dignity of the client while seeking to provide practical strategies for managing emotions and interpersonal relationships.

In 2025, I received training in cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) by the Stanford Sleep Health and Insomnia Program. I am excited to offer CBT-I to people in Michigan and Mississippi.

I always start with an introductory session, where we will discuss paperwork, I will answer any questions you may have about me or the process, and you'll have a chance to share your story. One of the most important topics we will discuss will be your goals for therapy. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
