About

Welcome to Find A Therapist! You've taken a huge step. I am so proud of you for that, and I'm sure you're wondering how this works and whether it's the right fit for you. I know I felt the same way when I first came to Find A Therapist too.

My name is Amanda Thompson, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting and more.Not only have I worked in clinical settings that had me providing services similar to Find A Therapist but I have also worked for a large local hospital, a school and an eating disorder treatment clinic. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I strive to make you feel welcome and accepted during our sessions.
I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness. Sometimes another person, one who isn't in our immediate circle, can offer a perspective or additional support that gives us movement on a difficult situation when we feel stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. Our relationship with ourselves and others has worth and is useful to explore in counseling.

You are welcome to message me anytime. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat, phone sessions and some video sessions. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first.

I look forward to working with you!
