My name is Amanda Pike and I have recently opened a virtual counseling practice specifically catering to clients in the state of Texas. As a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1998, I bring extensive experience and expertise to my counseling services.
Allow me to provide you with some details about myself and the counseling experience I offer.
Offer the convenience of online scheduling, allowing you to easily book sessions that suit your availability. Prompt response to any other inquiries regarding the practice. Immediate openings available.
My counseling techniques incorporate evidence-based approaches to promote positive change and growth.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, utilizing effective strategies to address and overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors.
I integrate principles from Positive Psychology to enhance well-being and foster a more fulfilling life.
Motivational Interviewing is another valuable technique I employ to empower clients and promote self-motivation.
In my practice, I strike a delicate balance between compassion and accountability. I understand the importance of providing a safe and supportive space while also encouraging personal responsibility and growth. My counseling services are available to a wide range of clients, including adults, young adults, adolescents, and school-age children. While I offer individual and family counseling, please note that I do not provide marital or couples counseling currently.
I have extensive experience in dealing with various issues and specialize in the following areas:
Women’s Issues
Mood disorders: depression, anxiety, bipolar
Transitional issues faced by adolescents and young adults
Behavior disorders in children and teens: ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder
Working with parents of challenging children to provide guidance and support
Assisting individuals in toxic or unstable relationships to develop healthy boundaries
Addressing addiction, substance abuse, and codependency
To facilitate ease of access to my services, I accept insurance plans from Cigna, BCBS, and United Healthcare, with Aetna and Humana coming soon. However, please note that I am unable to accommodate EAP or Medicaid/Medicare at this time.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any specific needs, please feel free to reach out to me. I am experienced in handling challenging cases. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to work together and look forward to the possibility of supporting you or any referrals on their journey to well-being.
