Compassionate Counseling by Amanda Loper MSW, LCSW

We all want to find happiness and fulfillment in life, however, our experiences and circumstances often feel in the way. Through therapy we will explore how your personal barriers, history, anxiety, and moods prevent you from finding the peace you are seeking. I enjoy working with women and men who are wanting to explore patterns and seek positive change. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients, providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment to promote healing. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy (PCT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I received my undergraduate degree from DeSales University with a major in Social Work and my Masters In Social Work with a concentration in Behavioral Health from Marywood University. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, marital and relationship difficulties, grief & loss, self-esteem and transitional stages in life development. As a strong believer in examining issues of the mind, body and soul, I encourage clients to explore these vital components of the whole person in finding solutions to promote peace and healing.
