About Amanda Aguilera MA, LPC, NCC

Do you have a history of trauma? Trauma isn’t just the sexual or physical abuse, or PTSD from war, it is certainly all of those things but sometimes it’s having your feelings dismissed. Sometimes it’s having to regulate your parents emotions, sometimes it’s being gaslit or being told that you can’t feel a certain way. Sometimes it’s growing up with a critical parent. I am here to help you work through the complex feelings that are still affecting you and to help you recognize and understand the patterns and triggers that are consciously or unconsciously having an impact on your daily life.

I offer long-term psychodynamic therapy and strive to build a therapeutic alliance that is safe, warm, and honest. Our experiences from the past shape who we are today and how we are in relationships, how we view the world, and ourselves. Sometimes we need someone, anyone to empathize and acknowledge the reality of our experiences.

It takes a great amount of courage and insight to begin your therapy journey and I want you to have a sense of autonomy by deciding where you would like to go in sessions and to share at your own pace. I look forward to starting our therapeutic journey together.
