Amanda Cooper, M.Ed., LPC
Hi! I’m Amanda.
I believe that each element of a person’s life story is important, influencing who they are and the way in which they function in their world. I hope to provide you with a safe, supportive and nurturing place to unravel these experiences and make sense of your story, empowering you to grow, heal, and learn to navigate your world.
The society we live in is stressful, complicated, and full of expectations that can feel overwhelming and difficult regardless of the stage of life. I work with individuals across the lifespan who are experiencing a range of behavioral and mental health concerns to address contributing factors and find relief from distressing symptoms. I have personal and professional experience navigating the complexities of foster care and adoption, and am passionate about supporting all children, parents and caregivers in developing healthy attachment.
I believe in the transformative power of nurturing healthy relationships—with ourselves and with others. In counseling, I take a relational approach, focusing on your strengths, as well as using my knowledge of nurturing healthy attachment and how our brains work to guide our sessions. My practice is trauma-informed and emphasizes nervous system regulation and mindfulness-based interventions. Additionally, I integrate expressive interventions such as sandtray, play, and art techniques to support clients of all phases of life in expressing and processing their experiences.
I am a certified EMDR (Eye-movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapist and utilize this technique with clients coping with a range of distressing or traumatic experiences. I am also trained in nervous system regulation and Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, all of which allow me to provide tailored care for diverse needs.
I am so glad you are here. You matter. Your story matters.

My hope is to walk alongside you and help you build tools to manage whatever you may be experiencing in life. Whether you are struggling with parenting, your relationship, life changes, or another circumstance, I aim to support you through that journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. This experience includes working with individuals who have experienced trauma, children and families involved with the child welfare system, including kinship care, foster care and adoption, and individuals who have experienced human trafficking.
Whether you are seeking services for yourself or your child, I would be honored to partner with you as you navigate this season of life.
Sarah Mobley, LMSW under supervision
Hello! My name is Sarah.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to show up exactly as you are. My style is warm, conversational, and compassionate, but I’m also not afraid to gently challenge you when it may help. I want therapy to be a space where we can laugh when things are funny, sit with the hard things when they aren’t, and have honest conversations about the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship and family challenges, and major life transitions. I’m especially passionate about working with women and mothers through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, burnout, identity changes, and the complicated experience of caring for everyone else while trying not to lose yourself along the way.
My approach is trauma-informed and focused on understanding the why underneath what you’re experiencing—not simply managing symptoms. I draw from CBT, DBT, IFS/parts work, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches while tailoring therapy to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.
Most importantly, I believe you are the expert on your own life. I’m not here to tell you what choices to make, but I will walk alongside you, ask questions you may not have thought to ask yourself, challenge you when needed, and help you better understand yourself. You don’t need the right words or have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll figure out where to go from there - together.
