I have a passion for working with people and providing space and time for healing. Often the most hopeless situations are where the beauty will appear. That does not mean everything will be perfect, but it does mean you can learn to function well and enjoy your life.

Hello! I'm Amanda Mullen, a Licensed Therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I), licensed in South Carolina and Illinois.
As a veteran and former military spouse, I'm especially passionate about supporting veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. While every person's experience is unique, I understand many of the challenges these communities face through both professional training and lived experience.
One philosophy that guides my work is simple: I don't preach—I teach. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life but to help you better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and gain the confidence to navigate life's challenges long after therapy ends. I genuinely believe in the techniques I use because I've seen their ability to create lasting change.
I also believe healing extends beyond the therapy office. Spending time in nature, slowing down, and reconnecting with yourself can be powerful tools for growth and resilience, and I often encourage clients to incorporate these practices into their daily lives.
My greatest strength as a therapist is creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, coping with work stress, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday life—even potty training a new puppy—you'll find a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free environment. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

I work with survivors of domestic violence, coercive control, childhood abuse, sexual abuse & those suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, SI, grief, co-dependence & ADD.

8761 Dorchester Road, North Charleston, SCHello! I would love to get you scheduled. Please call our office at 843-212-6979 for an appointment.
I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.
I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.

I'm Sam — I work with teens and adults navigating some of life's harder chapters. I've had the chance to work with people carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship stress, and the kind of slow-burn exhaustion that builds when life isn't matching the life you imagined. What matters most to me is that you feel like yourself in the room (or on the screen) — not performing okayness, not bracing for judgment. I'm newer to the field, which means my training is current and evidence-based, and I bring genuine enthusiasm to this work rather than going through the motions. I offer a sliding scale for those who need it. Sessions are available virtually across South Carolina.
