Amanda Hamilton

I’ve always been drawn to people and their stories, especially the real, sometimes messy parts of life that shape who we are. As a therapist, I want to create a space where people can show up as they are, feel genuinely seen and heard, and know they don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Life Pacific University and am pursuing dual licensure as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 10 years as a youth pastor and eight years as a co-senior pastor. Ministry gave me the privilege of walking alongside people through some of their highest highs and lowest lows, including relationships, loss, conflict, faith, transition, healing, and new beginnings.

Those experiences continue to shape how I approach therapy and strengthen my belief in the power of connection, resilience, and hope. My style is warm, collaborative, and personal. I don’t believe therapy should feel cold or clinical. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves while also feeling supported and challenged toward meaningful change, so I tailor therapy to each client’s individual needs and goals while creating an environment where they can be authentic without fear of judgment.

Whether I’m working with individuals (teenagers or adults), couples, or families, my hope is simple: that people leave feeling more connected, more hopeful, and better equipped for whatever comes next.
