Hello, my name is Amanda Falkers! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Substance Abuse Counselor. I have always been passionate to empower others and help them through life's journey. I graduated with my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Viterbo University in May 2022. I have my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Viterbo University. I have experience working with adults, families and couples and am certified in substance use and addiction treatment. I also have experience with holistic wellness, addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD and other mental health disorders, as well as integrating overall spiritual wellness into my overall practice. I take an integrative approach to treatment focusing on building a trusting relationship first and foremost. An integrative approach is a blend of elements from different approaches and the tailoring of treatment according to each client's needs. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and spending time outdoors in the country. It is nice to sit next to a campfire making s'mores, or in the cold Winter months cuddle up with a good book or watch a movie. I am passionate about wellness and self-care. Those who know me would describe me as having an approachable personality and compassion for others. Please contact my office if you have questions about services we provide or to schedule an appointment.
