Amanda Kriger

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with eight years of professional work experience. As a therapist, I meet my clients where they are at and offer an approach to meet their individual, and unique needs. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both an individual and group setting and have experience treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, substance and process addictions, and personality disorders. Theoretically, I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Theory and a Humanistic approach to help clients better understand themselves, as well as motivating themselves to build self-confidence and to weather any emotional storm they may face. My purpose is to help individuals explore their past to better understand what is going on in their present life to build a healthier future. I believe in empowering individuals to see their full potential and what opportunities await, as well as offering a safe space where emotions and feelings can be shared openly and freely. While being warm, humorous and direct, I help my clients improve their relationship with themselves and the people they interact with the most. I genuinely believe that people are allowed to make mistakes and growth comes from overcoming any type of adversity. My clients are the experts on their own lives, but sometimes can get stuck in patterns they are unaware of without someone guiding them to awareness.
