Different seasons of life reveal different needs, hopes, and concerns in each of us. What worked for us as children or young adults may not fit as well in a different season, yet many of us find it hard to make the internal shifts to find something that fits better. We can get stuck, internally or externally, and experience stress and discontent as a result. I love working with clients to help them "unstick" and move into their present and future with tools that are a better fit for who they are and want to be. You DO have what you need to move forward into a more joyous, contented life - with just a little support and guidance.

On the outside, things look great. You’ve become good at hiding how you really feel and putting on your “I-have-it-altogether” face. Inside, however, you’re feeling lost, out of touch and disconnected from yourself. Maybe your anxiety is causing you to lose sleep, or you find yourself isolating from friends and family because of depression. Maybe you're covering all of this up with drugs, alcohol or other risky behaviors. You’re not entirely sure how you got here but you know something needs to change. You deserve to feel reconnected, balanced, calm and happier. Let me help!

Hi there, I’m Amanda Magallanes! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who is passionate about meeting clients where they are and supporting them through challenges with guidance, compassion, and encouragement. I incorporate spirituality in my practice and focus on the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to help clients tap into their inner strength, find meaning and purpose, and cultivate resilience on their journey toward growth and healing.

You’re finding it more and more difficult to hold it all together. After pushing down your emotions and "going along with things" for so long, there is all of a sudden very little space to hold anything else. It’s hard to concentrate, you’re irritable, your body aches. There are times when you feel you could jump out of your skin from the racing thoughts, and there are times where you want to crawl under a rock to escape the overwhelm. What has always worked in the past is not even touching these feelings.

Our ideal client appreciates investing in the counseling process and knows its benefits. They value ongoing learning and personal growth. They understand a relationship with self, God and others is foundational to functioning well and handling the challenges of life. Our ideal client agrees to invest their trust in us (because we are trustworthy) and will dive deep to grow and be transformed into the best version of themselves. They know that whether they are ideal or not, they are also broken as human beings and are fully loved and appreciated in the midst of however they are! Our clients personal beliefs will be fully respected.

I am passionate about helping my clients work through challenges, get unstuck, and flourish in all arenas of life.

Things look pretty good from the other side of the street. Most see you as “having it altogether.” After all, you’re the driven, reliable one everyone turns to.

Wouldn’t it be nice if life felt like taking a well-traveled path – full of signs, directions and even tour guides to help us when we get lost? For many of us, life does not feel that way; it can even feel like we took a wrong turn along the way, and suddenly we are on a cliff-edged trail that is getting narrower and narrower. When we experience chronic stress – whether it be from trauma, relational issues, anxiety, depression or even sensitivity – life can feel hard. As pressure mounts, we can find ourselves reacting to daily experiences through outbursts of emotion, impulsivity, agitation or even numbing out.

Our work of joining to creatively support the insight and capacity for growth that lies within is profound and sacred. Life is a vast collection of experiences that we can't always be prepared for. These experiences can cause significant emotional and physical distress when we don’t allow for the process of working through them. My service to you is practical, relational and educational, focused on supporting you to intuitively remember your sense of peace so you may express your highest potential in the world for the greatest good of all concerned.

I believe substance use to be a symptom and not the root issue, but without first addressing and treating addiction we will not be able to intervene the underlying issues. There is an array of individuals and families that I enjoy working with. Teens, young adults and their families, adults and or partners/spouses who need support around their loved ones addiction and also with parents whos children are struggling with addiction. My approach to treatment is trauma and attachment informed because I believe that most addiction is driven by trauma and a lack of a healthy relationship with ones self.
