Amanda Antonia Blake, MS, MFT
Specialty:
Therapist for Teens, Adults & Families Navigating Relationships, Life Changes & Emotional Overwhelm
Who I Help:
I love working with teens, adults, couples, and families who are carrying more than people may realize. They may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, disconnected from the people they love, or tired of falling into the same patterns. I help clients understand the story behind those patterns, reconnect with themselves, and create healthier relationships and a life that feels more authentic.

Why This Work Matters
I'm especially drawn to people who have felt misunderstood, overlooked, or pressured to adapt themselves to spaces that weren't created with them in mind. I have a special place in my heart for BIPOC clients, multicultural families, teens, and people navigating complicated relationships or family dynamics. I want therapy to be a place where culture, identity, family, and lived experience don't have to be left at the door.
What It's Like Working With Me
Working with me is warm, conversational, supportive, and honest. Therapy is a place where you can exhale, be yourself, laugh when you need to, and talk about things that may be difficult to say anywhere else. I'll meet you with compassion while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My Approach
CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused, Trauma-Informed, EFT
If You're Unsure About Starting Therapy...
You don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy—that's part of why the space exists. You can come in unsure of what to say, where to begin, or even exactly what you want to change. We'll start where you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
Why We May Be A Good Fit
My clients often understand themselves more deeply and feel more confident navigating their lives and relationships. They become better able to recognize patterns, communicate their needs, set healthier boundaries, and respond to difficult emotions with more intention.
