I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

Hello, my name is Amanda Grippi. I am a licensed counselor in both Missouri and Illinois. I earned my Master's degree from Southern Illinois University with a focus in community psychology and I have been in practice for over 20 years. In addition to helping people with Anxiety and Depression, I have advanced training in neurodivergence including ADHD and Autism as well as trauma. I also have extensive experience working with members who identify as LGBTQ+.

I share over 20 years of experience after receiving my Master of Social Work degree from East Carolina University. I especially bring compassion and creativity to sessions to assist in navigating the challenges and changes life brings. This might be personal, relational or health decisions, adjustments through grief and loss, changes in family dynamics, marriage and relationship adjustments, past trauma impacting your every day life, a new mental health diagnosis, depression and/or anxiety, adolescent needs, ADHD, or a chronic illness. I meet the individual healing needs of clients through evidence-based practices of EMDR, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy (SFBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and narrative therapy. My background includes social work in areas of geriatrics, hospice, home health, dialysis, school social work and four years in independent practice. I was an Army spouse to a combat veteran and affirm the gifts, difficulties and ‘moral injuries’ that challenge military members and first responders. My clients have described as insightful, compassionate and welcoming. My passion is to enrich the lives of those who are willing to grow through challenges and meaningful change. I encourage clients to explore their unique personal story, believing that growth is through self-compassion, curiosity and self-inquiry about beliefs, emotions, boundaries, and behaviors within a safe therapeutic environment. My favorite self-care activities include time with my spouse Mark, time with my adult children, laughing out loud, spending time with my dog Duncan, writing, cooking, camping anywhere in the WigWam, hiking, and traveling to new destinations.
