As a licensed therapist in Washington, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationships, and personal growth. My approach centers on helping clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and effective coping strategies, particularly for those experiencing stress, anxiety, and significant life changes.
I have extensive experience working with older adults, women, and individuals facing challenges related to aging, workplace dynamics, and interpersonal relationships. My therapeutic practice focuses on addressing communication barriers, isolation, self-esteem concerns, and emotional healing through compassionate, collaborative counseling.
My work is deeply rooted in understanding each client's unique journey, with particular expertise in supporting those wrestling with life purpose, guilt, shame, and the intricate emotional landscapes of midlife and personal transformation. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, build emotional strength, and move toward meaningful personal growth.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda McDade. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is thoughtful and listens to concerns and recalls previous conversations with you and asks how to support you with your goals.
