Amanda Abou-Zaki, MA, LMHC
Introduction
Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance. I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. I work with individuals and couples using an integration of my existential, holistic and EMDR background. I often use Gottman methods when working with couples. I specialize in trauma, grief, loss and anxiety. Additionally, I am a certified Trauma Professional. Trauma is not always one major event that occurs, it is often an accumulation of minor events that occur overtime. I focus the therapeutic experience on the premise there is no prescription for therapy. I do not believe people are defined by a single experience. Rather, I believe that every individual and their experiences are unique. My hope for clients is to help them create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. My work integrates different therapeutic styles and techniques depending on what fits best with the client(s) and/or situation. I try to emphasize strengths and encourage clients to draw from their past experiences in order to help them better understand their current choices, feelings, and relationships. However, the nature and course of the therapeutic work is determined by each client’s unique needs, goals and request .
