FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

Amanda Daines, CSW

Hi everyone!

I really love working with teens, young adults and older adults and have been taking a more trauma focused path. I have found a passion for trauma work where I mostly utilize EMDR in my practice. I was trained last year in EMDR. I have extensive training in DBT, and also use IFS and attachment theory to help compliment my EMDR work. I work a lot with issues such as CPTSD, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD and OCD. I’ve worked a lot with my clients in different life transitions whether it be loss, infertility, career changes, medical issues, relationship issues, family issues etc, I see couples and have experience using the Gottman method and am looking get become officially trained later this year.

I am also passionate about helping anyone who comes my way. I will work hard with my clients and I do tend to take a more direct and honest approach with them to help them understand how they can make changes while also meeting them where they are at and creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for them.

Right now I’m only telehealth, but I have found great success with EMDR and trauma work virtually.
