Hello! My name is Amanda Stransky and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. Our mental health declines when we feel we no longer have a choice in our lives, and we can work together to change that. I have experience working with military and law enforcement as well as young adults working through career and other life transitions while redefining who they are and who they want to become. I work with military folks, both active duty and retired, that are looking to manage workplace stress, career transitions, and relationship issues.

Are you noticing that you and your partner seem to struggle with communication yet succeed in conflict with each other? Do arguments fail to be resolved and instead it's one issue after another? Do you feel tired and hopeless about your relationship? Trust and commitment alone are difficult things to cultivate, let alone building insight and effective communication. Whether you're wanting help early or this is the last ditch effort, bravo for your willingness and bravery for exploring your options. Also, if your past still affects your present, do you want to continue allowing those traumas to weigh heavy in your life?

I once read an anonymous quote that reads: "You may not be able to control every situation and its outcome, but you can control how you deal with it" - that spoke to how I approach therapy with whomever I work with. It is life's challenges that seem to make each situation "out of our control" to add additional stress and conflict in whatever we do OR with whomever we have relationships with. My approach is to provide a way to get where you would like to be, but it won't be easy. I use a variety of approaches to best suit you individually OR to fit the circumstances you face.

Do you feel like yourself? If not, what might be missing that would help you to feel more like yourself? Some days feel more challenging than others. Seasons of worry, sadness, insecurity, and relational distance can feel impossible to overcome. You might try to hide your emotions from the people around you for fear that they won't understand. You might experience greater conflict in relationships and isolate yourself as a result. You deeply desire a place to feel safe, understood, and known without judgment.

When choosing a clinician it is important to find someone with whom you can experience a sense of safety and trust. I have years of experience supporting others in healing through grief, depression, trauma and burnout as well as in exploring narratives related to family upbringing, culture and spirituality. I also enjoy caring for caregivers of all types (family, clergy, helping professionals) and helping young adults navigate times of transition and change.

I know that there are times when life can be difficult. My deepest professional desire is to give you hope and to let you know that you are not alone. Give me a chance to help and together we can move through the difficult parts of life, so you can experience growth and healing. I have experienced many grief and losses throughout my life from marriage, divorce, raising children, empty nesting, grand-babies, and sadly walking through the Hospice process while losing both parents to cancer. I can utilize my pains, struggles and triumphs to encourage you that you CAN do this and there is hope when there feels like there is none.
