Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 27511
I utilize known and effective approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based, independent work, and more.
Mental health care is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I work with individuals who have diverse backgrounds and struggle with various traumatic events, grief, and mood related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and more. During our initial session we will dive as deep as you would like and work together to discuss various resources, and create a plan to address your specific needs. During our work together, I'll hope to challenge you, empower you to challenge yourself, all while going at your pace.

Healing in therapy can come about in different ways; from a shift in perspective, from encouragement to engage in new behaviors and from learning to sit with and process our discomfort with mindfulness and compassion rather than reacting to it in ways that cause more pain and struggle.
Life can be painful and in our efforts to cope, it's easy to get caught in self defeating patterns of thought, emotion and behavior. Sometimes, our challenges will resolve on their own and other times we need to address them more directly. It's hard to reach out, to admit we don't have it all together, but seeking therapy is a wise choice that takes incredible courage. I commend you for taking this step and promise to do my best to offer you a safe space to share your unique story, to heal and to grow.

When it comes to my practice in therapy, I am values and emotions-based, I utilize mindfulness and can help you become intentional in your life.
I understand what it is like to feel as though your thoughts and behaviors are being solely ruled by your emotions. This is exhausting to live day after day. This way of living leads to being overwhelmed, dissatisfied, unhappy, stuck, or anxious. You want to gain more happiness and satisfaction within your life, but it feels daunting, you don't know where to begin or perhaps you feel resistance within yourself to even start. You need someone to listen and challenge you with more effective ways of utilizing your whole mind, body, and spirit.

I enjoy meeting clients right where they are and partnering with them to consider and predict the natural consequences which come to bear based on choices. My approach to therapy integrates mindfulness with solution-focused and reality-based approaches. I am EMDR trained as well and we can incorporate this as needed. Often we are driven into counseling either by an internal or external demand which no longer allows us to exist as we are. Counseling is about making a choice to manage life differently, or not--and not making a choice, is nevertheless still a choice.

Embracing a holistic counseling approach, I blend therapeutic interventions like CBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Growth Mindset, Positive Psychology, and DBT Skills training.
Hello, I’m Amanda Swadinsky, and I’m dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. From my perspective, counseling is a collaborative venture, where I work alongside clients, and when appropriate, their guardians to dig into life’s complexities. Creating a safe haven for exploring challenges is my priority. I understand that navigating life’s twists can be difficult without support. My specializations extend to helping children (ages 6+), teens, and adults dealing with life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, grief and loss.

I have been fortunate to have a previous career in exercise physiology and sought my masters in Social Work when I realized my passion centered on helping people make the changes they desire. I enjoy working with adults, age 18 and older, focusing on anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, grief/loss, parenting issues and personality disorders. I would enjoy walking this walk with you.

Informed by attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology, I use mindfulness and scientifically validated modalities to help people break free from outdated, destructive patterns and practice beneficial new ways of being.
Are you stuck, repeating the same patterns in relationships that start out full of hope and desire, but end up in distance and disappointment? Do fears keep surfacing that lead you to react in ways that sabotage your goals/push others away? You may worry about rejection and loss, or find yourself lonely and disillusioned, wondering what's "wrong" that undermines your happiness. Rest assured, you're not alone! I've been there, too. If you are suffering in relationships, feeling heartbroken, or yearning from unmet needs, I can empower you to understand and change the underlying dynamics to promote intimacy and connection.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
