Amanda Roland, LPC

Amanda Roland, LPC, provides a steady and compassionate therapeutic presence for people navigating complex trauma, existential questions, or symptoms that interrupt the positive rhythm of daily life. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can share their stories and collaborate on achievable goals, exploring patterns or behaviors that may no longer serve them and working toward greater peace and personal growth.

Amanda draws from an eclectic set of approaches, centering her work in a humanistic, person-centered framework that emphasizes meeting each person where they are. This stance supports a gradual process of self-discovery and empowers clients to move at a pace that feels right for them. She also integrates evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients gain insight and build practical skills.

In her role as a therapist, Amanda focuses on empathetic support rather than giving direct advice or imposing an agenda. She helps clients clarify goals, explore options, and make their own informed choices while maintaining a respectful therapeutic relationship. Amanda often uses a guiding metaphor that positions the client as the captain of their life, with the therapist helping to read the map and chart possible routes.

Amanda currently serves as a Co-Responder with the Boulder Police Department. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University and a Master of Science in Counseling from The University of Mary. Her background includes work in crisis stabilization, inpatient treatment, animal-assisted therapies, outpatient services, adult and child trauma, in-home family therapy, and adolescent residential treatment. She has specialized training in crisis counseling, trauma work, and equine therapy. Raised in the Midwest, Amanda enjoys animals and the outdoors, and her experience with teens, foster children, and collaboration with law enforcement and other first responders informs her clinical focus and practice. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.
