Meet Amanda
Amanda Manzer M.A., LPC-S, CFTP, NCC
Hi! I’m Amanda, owner and therapist at Root Awakenings. I’m a licensed professional counselor, clinical supervisor, KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) provider, and Reiki practitioner. I’ve spent just about half of my life walking alongside children, adults, couples, and families—always returning to the same truth: healing is sacred, nonlinear, and deeply personal.
Root Awakenings was born from my belief that people need people: to survive, to thrive, and find their way back to themselves. Whether we’re engaging in talk therapy, exploring expanded states, or working with energy through Reiki, I hold space with presence, compassion, and curiosity. My approach is trauma-informed, systems-oriented, and guided by relationship.
In addition to therapy, I supervise interns and pre-licensed professionals, honoring the parallel process between clinician and client, guide and learner. I meet you where you are, so we can move toward where you’re meant to be—gently, honestly, and at your pace.
Join the team!
While Root Awakenings is currently a solo practice, we are thoughtfully growing. I provide clinical supervision to interns and pre-licensed professionals who are passionate about trauma-informed, integrative healing.
Supervision here is relational, collaborative, and rooted in the same values I bring to therapy: authenticity, clarity, and care. We explore parallel process, build clinical skill, and hold space for the growth that happens behind the scenes.
If you’re an intern or associate therapist looking for supervision in a space that honors both the art and science of healing, I’d love to connect.
