Amanda Hembree
Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LPC, CEAP
I see counseling as a process in which the client and counselor, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from an integrative approach based on the client’s needs and the nature of the presenting issues. The approaches that I frequently use based on the most common presenting issues are cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and family systems. I believe that change occurs through the development of a collaborative working relationship and through changing negative thoughts and behaviors that affect changes in mood. I work with clients in a variety of formats, including individually, as couples, as families, and groups.
