Welcome to my online therapy practice! I'm Amanda Wiginton. Throughout our lives, we face many challenges, and counseling can provide the tools needed to overcome these obstacles in a healthy way.
My approach
I believe that therapy is a collaboration. Together we can focus on issues that may be negatively impacting your healthy development. I work to tailor my treatment specifically to your needs and personality, drawing from approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, positive psychology, and strength-based techniques.
My focus
I specialize in individual counseling for those needing support with adjusting to new life phases, coping with depression, managing anxiety, navigating perinatal and postpartum challenges, developing self-esteem, and processing grief and loss.
My communication style
In our conversations, I aim to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel heard and supported. I listen intently and respond with empathy, honoring your unique experiences. My communication style is direct but non-judgmental, focused on helping you gain clarity and work towards positive change at your own pace.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counseling from the University of San Diego. This education, along with my experience and passion for helping others, drives me to provide caring, personalized support to each of my clients.
My goals for you
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, learn practical coping strategies, build resilience, and make positive changes to enhance your overall well-being and life satisfaction. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered.
My first session with you
In our first session, we'll discuss what's brought you to therapy and begin getting to know each other. I'll ask about your background, current challenges, goals, and expectations. We'll also cover policies and any questions you have. Most importantly, we'll start building the trust and rapport that will serve as the foundation for our work together.
