Families, relationships and connections with others impact your quality of life, mental health, and physical health. Relationships cause great joy and unfortunately can cause great pain when they are toxic or off track. Are past relationships haunting your current relationship or self-image? Do you have difficulty forming or maintaining relationships with friends or significant others? Suffered abuse or abandonment in a relationship? Experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one? Have you experienced infidelity in your marriage? These difficult experiences can feel like they define you and become overwhelming at times, but there is hope!

Hello! I am Amanda. I am American born but British trained. In my office, I offer you holistic therapy services with a cup of tea.

I have a collaborative approach. We will work together to create a holistic treatment plan that works for you. I will use a combination of therapy modalities that work best for improving your specific circumstances and play to your natural strengths.

No life is without struggle and no struggle should be endured alone. It is my passion to help others navigate stormy waters, bear hurts and sorrows, or make plans for how to move forward.

It feels like no one understands you. You try to communicate your needs and in turn feel like you are crazy for even sharing. You scroll social media and see others who appear to have it all together and have no worries. You just want to not feel alone. You've done all that you can and feel like you're stuck. But there is help - you don't have to handle it alone. I can work with you and provide you with the support you need.

I started Aptitude Behavioral Services, LLC to service school-age children in the East TN area. I love working with children through pre-teen ages and have also worked with a few higher-functioning teenagers. My typical day involves working with families that face challenges with behavior and working directly with children to decrease these behaviors while building skill deficits. I enjoy including family in my sessions and want to empower caregivers and family members so that they are equipped to handle behavioral challenges.

"Many times in life we are faced with challenges that we did not expect or even see coming. We may not have the personal experience or the background to know how to handle or cope with the situation. It may involve a life change or a lot of emotional pain. We may feel that our life will never be the same. We may not know what the next move needs to be. Maybe we just need an environment where we can work through the emotional pain. Maybe it is time to get a new direction in life.

Symptoms/issues that I most often see are anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting issues, divorce, trauma, life transitions, emotion regulation/anger management, and others. I work with minors (ages 3 and up), adults, and families. In addition to in-session work with clients, I offer court-related services to further advocate for clients' emotional and mental well-being. A niche and passion that I have is working with victims of abuse. I have first-hand understanding and life experience to treat the traumatic emotional and mental effects of difficult relationship experiences.

At times symptoms from anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression that follows, can hinder our ability from living the life we want, especially when feeling vulnerable and misunderstood. This affects our relationships, parenting, friendships, marriages, career, social life, and living out our fullest potential. If your struggling with a thought life that leans more on the negative side and doesn't line up with who you are or who you want to be, I can help.

Watching your child struggle behaviorally, emotionally, or academically, can be a very scary thing for a parent. You may feel lost and insecure, or you may feel like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Additionally, you may have struggled as a kid yourself but have never been able to pinpoint why. I believe through evaluation, one can better understand who they are, how to build on existing strengths, and how to target areas for growth.

On the outside it looks like you have it all together. But on the inside you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You've spent the last however-many-years trying to keep everything together, but it’s exhausting, and you don’t think you can do it anymore. You're tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

Mental illnesses, addictions and relationship problems - I have found that these three arenas are where most of our pain centers. And also where so much work has been done. You've gotten this far, and I'd consider it a privilege to fight the next battle alongside you.

"People Start To Heal The Moment They Are Heard." - Cheryl Richardson. The chapters of your past do not have to dictate who you want to be. Recovery is determined by choosing not to stay where you are. It's my desire to help you start writing the next chapters of your life. I find joy when others find hope.

I love working with people and especially enjoy offering help to the grieving, hurting, confused and overwhelmed. I am a certified facilitator of the Marriage and Pre-Marital program "Prepare/Enrich" and have worked with countless couples to restore, enhance and enrich their marriage relationships. I have worked with hundreds of college students, teens, adolescent's and their parents since April of 1987. I offer a faith-based approach in counseling but likewise respect the wishes of clients that prefer a non-faith, CBT method at my personal office, and work in a clinical setting under supervision at HMS.

I provide counseling and consultative services. With the help of my colleague, Mark Shively, we also provide training using biofeedback technology. As a counselor, my role is to listen, discern strengths and vulnerabilities, and invite growth/advancement from those placing trust in my care. As a consultant, I strive to provide fair/impartial answers (in the manner of a scientist) to posed questions. Cognitive-behavioral training can address many thought patterns, behaviors and physiological states (such as stress).

Together we will work hard to turn that hope into a reality and we will do it one step at a time.
