Hi, and welcome to my profile. I'm Dr. Manda, a Licensed Pastoral Counselor in Kentucky, and the author of "Re-authoring Life Narratives After Trauma." I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral and relationship issues, losses, life transitions, and spiritual issues. I integrate spirituality in my practice to support those clients who want their spiritual needs to be addressed in therapy. Studies show that spiritual well-being reduces despair, anxiety, depression, the wish to die, and improves the quality of life.

I often use the Skilled Helper Model in the first two sessions to clarify what brings you to therapy, and agree on treatment goals. Then, I proceed with either Narrative therapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or pastoral counseling approaches to support you on your journey towards achieving your goals of care.
If you would like to schedule an appointment with me, feel free to do so on my website. I look forward to talking with you soon. Thanks for visiting my profile.
