Amanda Barnes

Amanda Barnes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults, families and couples seeking clarity, connection, and meaningful change. With a warm, collaborative approach, she helps clients navigate relationship challenges, manage stress, and build healthier patterns that support personal and professional growth. Clients often share that they appreciate the ease and natural connection they experience with Amanda, allowing them to explore their concerns more openly.

Amanda specializes in guiding individuals through major life transitions, career shifts, and leadership pressures, with a particular focus on high-achieving professionals managing perfectionism, burnout, and the drive to “do it all.” Amanda creates a grounded, nonjudgmental space where insight and practical strategies come together.

Amanda  works extensively with busy moms who are juggling the demands of parenting, career, and personal well-being. She helps mothers manage stress, cultivate sustainable self-care, and find balance in the midst of competing responsibilities. Her approach supports women in reconnecting with themselves, building emotional resilience, and navigating the expectations—internal and external—that often accompany motherhood.

In addition, Amanda supports professional men who are experiencing significant stress, who are feeling overwhelmed, or who have relied on unhealthy coping strategies, including addiction. She provides a confidential space to explore the pressures of leadership, performance, and identity while addressing the emotional and behavioral patterns that keep them stuck. Amanda helps men build healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create more balanced, intentional ways of living.

Amanda has deep experience working with complex family dynamics, including intergenerational patterns, blended families, and long-standing relational wounds. She helps clients understand how these dynamics shape current relationships and supports them in building healthier boundaries and more authentic connections.

Drawing on evidence-based approaches and a strengths-focused perspective, Amanda helps clients understand themselves more fully, develop effective tools, and make aligned choices in their relationships and careers. She believes meaningful change happens when people feel seen, supported, and equipped with compassionate, practical guidance.
