I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, trauma, panic disorders, relationship challenges, and the particular weight that comes with being a woman managing too much at once. I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah, and I offer all sessions via telehealth — so wherever you are in the state, you can access consistent, quality care without rearranging your whole schedule. I bring a wide range of evidence-based tools to every session, including CBT, DBT, trauma-focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Narrative Therapy, SFBT, REBT, Gestalt, and Motivational Interviewing. That breadth matters because no two people struggle the same way — my job is to find the right fit for you, not apply a one-size approach.

Hello, I’m Dr. Scott DeBerard, a licensed clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) in the State of Utah with over 30 years of experience. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, health challenges, and major life transitions. My approach emphasizes authenticity, compassion, and respect for each person’s unique life circumstances.

I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.

Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.

Making the decision to begin therapy can feel difficult, and I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your experiences openly.

I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Even when we know we want things to change, it can sometimes feel difficult to understand why we continue to experience the same thoughts, emotions, or relationship struggles. Therapy can help bring greater awareness and understanding while creating opportunities for meaningful change.

I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and meeting each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My role is to walk alongside you, help you gain insight into yourself, and support you in creating a healthier and more fulfilling life.
