AMANDA ELSTON

Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m a wife, mother, daughter, dog mom to two crazy pups, nature lover, and yoga enthusiast. Outside of the therapy space, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, outdoors soaking up nature, or diving into my latest hobby or creative project. 

As a fellow ADHDer, I’m always curious, exploring, and finding new ways to connect with the world around me. In the therapy room, I show up as emotionally attuned, grounded, relational, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood. I approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and a non-judgmental stance, while also offering gentle challenge when needed to help expand awareness and support meaningful growth.

I take the time to truly get to know my clients, not just for the struggles or symptoms that bring them to therapy, but for who they are as unique individuals. I deeply value the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate healing, self-discovery, and change.

My work incorporates IFS-informed therapy, EMDR, attachment theory, and creative forms of expression to meet the unique needs of each client. I work with individuals navigating trauma, relationship concerns, and neurodivergence, helping them build deeper self-understanding, more authentic connections, and lives that feel more fulfilling and aligned.

I believe healing happens in relationship, through feeling supported, understood, and empowered to reconnect with yourself in new ways.
