I’m so glad you’re here - I’m Amanda!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas, Colorado, and Washington, I am the owner of Unfolding Collective - Therapy & Consulting.

I am a proud Social Worker and love my profession. As a Social Worker, I hold the perspective of person in environment - I believe all behavior makes sense within context, and that sometimes all we need is some perspective to shift how we show up in our lives. In a way I have shown up as a Social Worker throughout a lot of my life - I love providing people with resources that allow them to feel empowered in their own lives, and that is reflected in the way I show up in the therapy space.

I enjoy working with adults to help change patterns of behavior and to process trauma that may be making life difficult. It's common to experience situations, events, or relationships that can throw us off balance or skew how we see ourselves and the world. When faced with these challenges, we must decide how to respond, but sometimes we lack the necessary tools to respond in a healthy way that promotes growth. This is where finding the right therapist can be a life-changing experience. Successful therapy is about building a trusting relationship that can facilitate healing and wholeness.

I lean on specific tools in my work - EMDR, IFS, and ACT can transform your life. These therapeutic modalities use the brain’s natural ability to heal itself, bringing us to a place of balance so that we can fully function in our lives and relationships. They are effective in healing core wounds and creating new neuropathways in the brain, allowing you to resume a fulfilling life.

I am passionate about working with couples - especially those who find themselves overwhelmed by the early years of parenting or marriage, or those who are considering ending their marriage and need some guidance in the process. I’ve been there, it’s so difficult and it’s okay to need help along the way. You can read more about my approach with couples by clicking here!
