About Mission Ridge Counseling
Hi! I’m Amanda…
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana, and I genuinely love what I do. I work primarily with individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges and life transitions.
My hope is that counseling can be a place where you feel safe enough to be curious about your own story and supported as you move forward.
In counseling, I use a person-centered framework and also draw from approaches including EMDR, meaning-centered therapy, and attachment-based work. I am also working towards a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision.
My background as a Christian minister has shaped the way I understand people, suffering, and relationships. I'm comfortable making space for questions of faith, purpose, and spirituality when they matter to you, including seasons of doubt or experiences of hurt within faith communities. You are welcome to bring those parts of your story into counseling, but you don't have to share a particular faith or worldview to feel at home in our work together.
Outside of counseling, I'm a wife and mom to two energetic young boys. In my limited free time, I like to spend time with family, travel, and watch the occasional TV show.
