My career path to mental health has been a windy road, but the one constant has been my work and engagement with youth and adolescents in a variety of settings.
Let's be honest, most of us wouldn't go back to our adolescent years even if someone paid us to do so. Growing up is hard and life throws a lot at children, teens, and young adults. It is not uncommon to feel many conflicting ways about adolescence (and often times many conflicting ways at once). The things we face as we grow up impact our ability to engage, succeed, and feel accepted in our family life, our friend and peer circles, and in our academic sphere. It is my distinct honor to work with adolescents as they navigate some of the toughest years of life.

I have experience working with parents and caregivers in the perinatal period, adults and adolescents in outpatient facilities and schools, and adolescents in inpatient/residential facilities.
Hi I am Amanda Behrendt, formerly Amanda Crawford. My life's journey has led me here to a career in helping others. I graduated from Montana State University with a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. My ideal client would be an adolescent or an adult who is ready to make changes or a parent/caregiver or soon to be parent who may be struggling with all of the challenges of parenthood. Counseling is a partnership but can only result in growth if the client is ready to make changes and is ready to allow for growth to occur.

Whether you are an individual, couple, family, or teen, reach out to me at Center Counseling to schedule a meeting.
Do you question the relationship you're in? Do you wonder why conflict sometimes feels so difficult? Does it sometimes feel like there are patterns there that you just can't see or understand, but that maybe if you could, they wouldn't have to continue? Sometimes we reach a point where we are ready for change; where what we have been doing in our life and in our relationships, doesn’t feel good anymore. I will help you get clear on what the patterns are AND where they come from and how to shift them.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I believe behavior is communication. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to understand you, a child, or a teen is communicating. By creating a judgement free space and empowering the client, I aim to engage adults, children, and teens in centering themselves, processing their experiences, and advocating for their needs. I also have experience working with people impacted by disabilities and systemic trauma.

Everyone experiences hardships in life. Using evidence based practices, I work with clients from all walks of life. My goals often include helping clients heal wounds, make sense of relationships, increase their peace and confidence, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve their overall quality of life. Whatever you’re experiencing, you’re not alone and it would be an honor to walk with you through this. I believe counseling is an effective means for many people to take charge of what they can change, accept what they cannot, and live with more intentionality and less reactivity.

My motivation for my work stems from my own process and journey of self-acceptance and love. I focus on meeting people where they are and integrating a mind-body connection to increase internal awareness, processing life events, and recognizing needs for future pathways. Specific areas of focus include working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life adjustments. Healing occurs in the presence of others, making it essential for a supportive relationship. With current Covid restrictions, I utilize the outdoors to meet with individuals.

My goal is to make you feel heard and understood. I meet you exactly where you are at, listen to you, challenge you, and support you in developing a connection with yourself and the world around you. The therapeutic relationship is an opportunity for you to feel validated, trusted, and above all, authentic and connected. I want to support adults and couples in rebuilding a connection with themselves and to cultivate purpose and curiosity in one another. I help families establish open communication, trust, and create healthier boundaries in order to facilitate more enriched relationships moving forward.

My experience is in working with individuals and couples who struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, emotional regulation, and martial/relationship distress. Increasing one's awareness of their present experience and motivations I believe is essential for change. I set out to create a non-judgmental environment that will promote growth and movement towards interacting intentionally in relationships. Emotional safety and security will be created in the therapy room and with all members to enhance effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. Please visit www.somatictherapymt.com for more information.

The most important part of therapy is that you connect/feel safe with your therapist, and finding that therapist can be difficult, especially right now. Call or send me an email to arrange a free consultation and lets see if we think we're a good fit. Trust yourself, ask questions, you've come this far, you will find someone that seems right for you. Life is hard at the moment and you're probably ready for something to change, but what? I advocate for fierce joy, tolerating uncertainty and loss, digging deep, genuine relationships, holding ourselves accountable, playing to strengths, & being compassionate about our challenges.

As a clinical therapist, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Limited daytime openings available in September. Imagine a world where growing up was easy and adulting was just as simple? There would be no peer relationship struggles, everyone had great self-esteem, angelic behaviors abounded, and traumatic life events never occurred. Heck, even our work and home lives were a breeze, we all had uncomplicated relationships, and mental health concerns did not exist. Unfortunately, we do face hard things. Therapy is a way to get help, guidance, and relief as you walk through the daily challenges of life. Are you ready for change? I bet you are!

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
