When our relationships don’t feel right, everything feels wrong. We stress out, get anxious, and feel exhausted from conflict and communication breakdown. We try to figure things out but feel lost and confused. We want to blame our partner or ourselves, but we know there’s a better way.
Hi, I’m Amanda Wilson, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) in South Carolina. I help couples and individuals just like you figure it all out. I’m your supportive guide to relationship dynamics, emotional stress, personal growth, and self-esteem. I’m here to help you gain clarity and take control of your life with confidence.
Some days we feel like we can handle anything. Then, when our relationships are not going well, even the smallest things seem difficult.
The longer we go without identifying and addressing these relationship problems, the harder it becomes to feel content and fulfilled. But addressing these issues becomes an issue itself – some things we feel like we can’t talk about.
You might have a partner who always criticizes you no matter what you do, or one who gaslights you into confusion. You might even behave that way to your partner but can’t seem to help it!
Whether you come to me as a couple or an individual, addressing these issues is key.
My goal is to help you figure out your beliefs about relationships, what behaviors and attitudes keep you stuck and get to the root of unhealthy patterns and coping mechanisms.
I believe in helping you identify and nurture meaningful relationships in your life. I also help you address those that are impacting your well-being and figure out how to put yourself first.
In the safe space that we create together, I emphasize that all of our experiences, both the positive and the negative, are valuable and shape who we are. That doesn’t mean that our experiences have to define our future, but they can inform us as we create the future for ourselves.
We can use all of our experiences as seeds for unlimited growth, healing, and transformation.
In our sessions, I value honesty and transparency. Being open and honest helps us dig deeper into our issues and cultivate lasting change.
I value empathy and compassion, but I’ll be straightforward when necessary. Real healing happens when we are willing to confront the truth of our feelings and behavior and actively seek to understand what’s been going on.
I knew from a young age that a career in therapy was my calling. I trained horses for a time and learned a lot about the parallels between human and animal behavior. My personal experiences, behaviors, and relationships also fascinated me.
The complexity of human behavior and emotion was too interesting for me not to pursue a career in psychology.
My military background as a first responder and my experiences helping children with autism also motivated me to help others understand and find their way through confusing and overwhelming experiences.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I’ll be your guide on this journey, but you will also be a leader in the room. You know best what it’s like to be you, to experience what you experience. I’m here to help you develop a deeper relationship with your own emotions and beliefs, but I need your commitment to bring everything to the table.
Once I get to know your unique needs and goals, we’ll work together to create a therapy plan just for you. We’ll:
My experiences and training have inspired me to help others with compassion and dedication.
Instead, I encourage you to contemplate and apply the skills and insights you learn in therapy in your daily life. The best tools in therapy are our own emotions.
My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to lead your own transformation journey. Even the slightest change, an alternative response, or a moment of increased awareness can lead to profound transformation.
Your journey to a healthier and more fulfilling life starts here.
