Amanda Etienne, Psy.D.

My clients describe me as:

Warm, humorous and compassionate. I approach my work with curiosity, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Something to know about my approach is:

I work with emotionally sensitive individuals struggling with trauma, overwhelming emotions, and anxiety to help them to reach long-term healing. I use a blend of IFS, ACT, and Somatic Therapy to help you reach a life you value.

Together, we will:

we will work to compassionately identify the hurdles you are facing and create a life you value. We will work to help you better understand the impacts of past experiences and to engage in values-aligned action.

I specialize in working with people who:

are struggling to process past experiences and may now be experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, or existential concerns, and who may be questioning their relationship with substance use.

I became a therapist because:

of the "aha" moments that I get to share with clients as they better understand their experiences and engage meaningfully in their lives.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am all virtual but will almost always have a candle burning and tea or coffee nearby :)

More about me and my practice:

I strive to create a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and all ethnic and minority groups. I embrace diversity in my practice and therapeutic work, and I aim to enable clients to feel closer to a life of meaning and purpose with each session.
