Meet Amanda Bear, our founder.


Hi, I’m Amanda. Creating a sustainable, healthy working relationship with my client is always my first goal in counseling. I want to help you find the internal courage that already exists inside you, to move through the most challenging and vulnerable parts of life. I am honored to meet my clients where they are and witness their immense courage as we take this walk together.

My role as your counselor will be to sit with you in the intolerable moments that are given to us and provide a supportive space for you to heal. I want to help others discover their truest selves so that they may flourish. I genuinely love what I do as a counselor and believe in the truly transformative power of bearing witness to people in their most vulnerable times. I am passionate about working with people so they can move forward, and I look forward to meeting you!
