My name is Sandra Amado

One of the most significant needs of humans is to be understood, to have a sense of belonging, to be wanted and loved, and to have a purpose and a bright future. Perhaps something feels missing in your life, and you need a different perspective. The fact that you are seeking help is the first step, and together, we will work towards the goals and objectives you wish to achieve in life. Life is challenging, but with guidance and practical life skills, you can make progress. I look forward to working with you. I have extensive experience working with individuals, adolescents, young adults, families, and couples. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address depression and anxiety, as well as Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma-related issues. I also incorporate Bible-based principles and Existential and Gottman approaches for couples therapy. Mental health is a serious matter. Maybe you want to start afresh and create a different narrative, but you don’t know where to begin. Perhaps you wish to do the right things but may have a wounded heart. Reach out, and let's start a new journey together. I have over ten years of experience helping adults, teens, families, and couples. I am compassionate and caring. You matter to me because you are essential, and I will provide the guidance and skills you need to succeed in life. I primarily work with clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, or difficulties in their marriage, relationships with teens, or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we will explore the issues and concerns. We will develop a treatment plan with goals and objectives to track your progress and alleviate your symptoms. You deserve to experience joy! I am passionate about using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In our first session, we will examine what’s holding you back, your thoughts, and the emotions influencing your mood. You don't have to face these challenges alone any longer. CBT and CPT will help address unresolved traumas, while the Gottman method will assist in navigating complex relationships. In my personal life, I would love to share a few things about myself. I enjoy playing tennis, reading, listening to music, and spending time with my family. As a bilingual Spanish and English speaker, I strive to make my services accessible to a broader audience. I find inspiration in two meaningful quotes: “Whoever has hope has everything” and “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” As stated in the Bible, "As the Son has life, whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5:12). Also, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves" (Viktor Frankl)
