Introduction

Hello- my name is Amanda and my passion in counseling is working with the service members, veterans and family members of the United States military. I also have years of experience working with adult individuals who are struggling with the lasting effects of past trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship/attachment issues. I began working in both acute mental health treatment and substance use detoxification while finishing my bachelor degrees (psychology, sociology) at the University of Colorado. After that, I worked in mobile crisis outreach, case management, and a range of mental health counseling roles while completing a Master's degree at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I have been working in private practice since 2023 and my counseling approach is holistic, whole-person centered and empowerment focused. I encourage clients to find areas of choice, decision-making and self-care in their lives as we collaboratively work toward reducing stress and problematic symptoms to be more manageable in daily life. You can reach out to me directly at aforsting@fromsummittoseacounseling.com
