Through the Woods 

I am Amanda Ulmer, Licensed Professional Counselor- Mental Health and a Registered Play Therapist specializing in helping children. 

I have been a counselor for 6 years with a variety of experience helping children, adolescents, young adults, adults, families, couples, and facilitating Dialectical Behavioral Therapy groups. 

I help individuals and families improve the quality of their lives despites the challenges they are experiencing. Together we explore history, identify patterns, and learn ways to identify and challenge self-critical thoughts and develop self-compassion and mindfulness skills. I help individuals learn to recognize and identify emotions while also learning skills to regulate emotions that feel out of control. I help others improve their self-worth and grow through challenges in their life. 

I believe in accepting others as they are, providing unconditional positive regard and compassion throughout the different stages of life. I have an integrative approach meeting the needs of each person varying from CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Adlerian, Family Systems, and ART for trauma specific needs. 

I am passionate about helping others improve the quality of their lives. If you are ready to explore, process, and grow through the challenges you have/are experiencing, you can reach me by email at:
