Amanda Sholty, LCSW

Amanda Sholty brings a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapy, encouraging people to recognize the courage it takes to seek help and to take the next steps toward change. She has worked across community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare settings, and with veterans, and she also provides support to caregivers of people living with dementia. These experiences inform her practical, person-centered work and her focus on honoring each person's priorities and expertise in their own life.

She practices from a collaborative stance, combining empathy with evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills, process grief, establish healthier boundaries, and navigate life transitions. Amanda draws on a range of clinical approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based and psychodynamic methods, mindfulness, and trauma-focused strategies - tailoring interventions to fit each individual’s needs.

Amanda holds the credential LCSW, which indicates qualification as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and training in clinical practice. She centers a respectful, client-led relationship and aims to support growth, resiliency, and clearer paths forward as people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and other challenges. Questions are welcome as part of the collaborative process and she encourages reaching out when someone is ready to begin exploring change.
