Root Awakenings began with a longing to build a place where healing could unfold slowly, gently, and in its own time, a place for truth-telling, connection, and becoming whole again.

I’m Amanda, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Supervisor, KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) provider, and Reiki Practitioner. My work bridges science and spirit, blending evidence-based therapy with integrative practices that honor the sacred, nonlinear nature of healing.

What I know is this: healing is sacred. It’s nonlinear and asks us to be brave in quiet, tender ways. And it cannot be done alone.

Root Awakenings was created from the belief that we heal in relationship and in spaces where we can tell the truth, soften what’s been guarded, and be met with steadiness. Whether we’re engaging in talk therapy, working with expanded states, or tending to energy and the nervous system through Reiki, I show up with presence, attunement, and curiosity.

My work is trauma-informed, system-aware, and shaped by attachment. I listen for who you are beneath survival strategies. I trust your pace, and I follow what unfolds.

Alongside my clinical work, I supervise interns and pre-licensed professionals, honoring the parallel process between therapist and client: learning, growing, reflecting, unraveling, and rebuilding. My supervision is collaborative, grounded, and human. We move together.

Wherever you are in your process —whether the beginning, the returning, the pausing, or the unsure —you are welcome here.

We’ll take it slow.

We’ll stay with what matters.
We’ll root.

And we’ll awaken.
