Amanda Reid (LPC)

Hello! I am an LPC in Alabama and South Carolina and I go by Mandy. I have a Bachelor’s degree from The University of Alabama at Birmingham in Mass Communication and a Master’s degree from Liberty University in Licensed Professional Counseling. Currently, I work as an out-patient provider in both states. My certification’s are in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Experiential Therapy (ET). My prior experience includes work as a substance abuse counselor and therapist in a group home and mental health hospital. I have worked with clients from a variety of populations with depression, anxiety, anger, parenting issues, PTSD, trauma , addiction and ADHD. My hope is to reach my clients where they are and assist them in reframing and supporting themselves through self-care. Increasing coping skills, utilizing grounding techniques and affirming sessions can help guide towards self actualization. I am here as a facilitator and supporter honored to be given the opportunity to assist clients. My focus is building positive cognitive behavioral practices and allowing clients to structure a foundation for a successful and promising future. I believe in creating a space where clients feel a sense of welcome, belonging, and hope. Compassion and empathy are tenets at the heart of my work and I work to honor both every day. I hope to provide clients with the a safe space and set this intention daily. Therapy is challenging, takes courage and time and I am here to support you all the way.
