In 1986, my journey in the field of human services began, fueled by a lifelong passion for helping others. Majoring in the Human Services concentration at high school laid the groundwork for my unwavering commitment to this mission.
Upon earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Science with a counseling specialty, my formal training commenced in 2002. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience and expertise, working in diverse settings. Anxiety, stress, worry, uncertainty, addictions and fear don't have to define your life. With over 16 years of clinical experience, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the beliefs, thought patterns, and automatic behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.
Whether it's herbal or verbal, I'm very passionate about offering everyone a safe space to spill the tea. I have completed certification courses in many specialized areas, such as motivational interviewing, mindfulness based trauma informed care, mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, online play therapy, nurturing parenting, and more. I work well with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.
Hey! I'm Amanda, and I'm so glad you're here! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Kentucky. I have a passion for working with adults who have a desire to work through past trauma experiences. I am an EMDR-certified clinician and EMDR Consultant in Training and have several other trauma modalities that I pull from. I have experience working in community mental health and psychiatric acute, residential care hospitals, and private practice. Another passion of mine is traveling around the world.
I am a retired Air Force Master Sgt. and an LCSW who specializes in addiction and mental health. I understand these issues because I have lived through both of them. I have two masters degrees, one in military social work, and one in addiction social work. I graduated from the University of Louisville, and am excited to get to meet new people and help them get their lives back.
I am a trauma informed therapist, here to help you. I work with teens and adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, guilt, self-doubt, substance use, and painful relationship patterns. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode. They may be having nightmares, flashbacks, anger outbursts, self-harm, low self-worth, codependent patterns, or the constant feeling that they are doing everything wrong. Some are trying to heal after domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction, or other painful experiences that changed how safe life feels. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and more able to imagine what comes next.
Feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected? I support clients who are working through questions self-worth, shame and guilt, boundaries, and relationships throughout the states of Kentucky and Maine. My focus areas include relational discord, anxiety, depression, anger management and impulse concerns, and stress management. I currently have availability on Mondays and Thursdays.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kentucky
Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
