Great to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Amanda!

Dr. Amanda Slaten, PhD, LCSW, LCAC

With over 20 years of experience in the field, I provide individualized, person-centered therapy tailored to meet each individual's unique needs and goals. I take an open, supportive approach that helps normalize mental health challenges, creating a safe space to allow others to feel understood and empowered. I believe that mental wellness is achievable for everyone. I work collaboratively to help build the tools and insight needed to find lasting success and balance.

My approach to therapy

My approach

My primary focus in treatment is the power of cognition. With practice, focus, and skill enhancement, we can all use the power of guiding our thought process to increase positve outcomes in our lives. While cognitive therapy is the foundation of how I practice, implementing mindfulness, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral techniques, and trauma informed care are all approaches that I find useful in fostering therpeutic success with all individuals.

What you can expect from me

I provide a comfortable and relaxed environment for all individuals I work with. Reducing any stigma with a non-judgemental approach and compassion is what I pride myself on being able to achieve. I partner with each individual, meeting them where they are, in their journey.
