Amanda Walch

Hello, I'm Amanda Walch, the heart behind Healing Words Therapy. Being a therapist isn't just my profession; it's a genuine calling and a deep passion. Witnessing someone's strength emerge and their healing unfold is incredibly rewarding, and I feel privileged to walk alongside my clients through life's complexities.

My Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University provided a strong foundation in understanding how our minds and emotions work, allowing me to tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for you.

I specialize in supporting children and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma's impact, and the unique challenges of chronic pain and illness. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and feel genuinely supported. I understand how chronic conditions affect life and offer support for the emotional and psychological aspects.

As the owner and therapist at Healing Words Therapy, my practice is built on empathy, understanding, and a deep commitment to your well-being. I'm here to actively support you in uncovering your strengths, developing coping strategies, and leading a more fulfilling life, no matter the challenges. I genuinely care and look forward to connecting with you on your healing journey.

Think of our therapy sessions as a supportive journey we take together. I truly believe that each person has their own unique story and path to healing, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I see our time as a space where I meet you exactly where you are, in this moment. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I'm here to listen without judgment and walk alongside you.

My role is to create a comfortable and safe environment where you feel truly seen and heard. We'll work together to explore what's important to you, at your own pace. I draw from different tools and techniques that can help – things like understanding your thought patterns, exploring your feelings, and learning practical ways to cope with challenges. But don't worry about complex terms! I'll always explain things in a way that feels clear and relatable.

Ultimately, my approach is about empowering you. It's about helping you connect with your own inner strength and wisdom, so you can navigate life's ups and downs with more confidence and clarity. I'm here to offer guidance, support, and a fresh perspective, tailored specifically to what you need in each session.

When we work together, you can expect a warm and understanding space where your experiences are honored. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling a little lighter, perhaps with a new insight, a helpful tool, or a greater sense of clarity about what's happening in your life.

We'll work towards goals that are meaningful to you. Maybe that's finding ways to worry less, feeling more connected in your relationships, understanding difficult emotions, or simply feeling more like yourself again. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe enough to explore vulnerable parts of yourself and build a stronger, more resilient you.

Think of our sessions as an opportunity to carve out dedicated time for your well-being. It's a chance to hit the pause button on the busyness of life and focus on what truly matters. My greatest joy is seeing my clients discover their own strength and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I'm here to support you every step of the way, celebrating your progress and offering encouragement when things feel tough.
