Praise be to our Mighty God! My Name is Amanda  Jackson, I have been working in the mental health field for over 14 years. We all experience times of loss, stress, depression, and trauma that can be overwhelming, which at times causes us to question our faith. My goal is to assist you through your healing journey by utilizing Christ-based and empowerment therapy techniques which are utilized to strengthen your faith and provide you with the necessary tools needed to enhance your relationship with God, and emotional health. 

I specialize in clinical mental health wellness with a focus on children and families from diverse populations and various demographics. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach, I have diverse experience with many mental health concerns ranging from behavioral issues to anxiety. I provide services to individuals with intellectual disabilities, children and families,  and adolescents in the justice system. I also advocate for social welfare programming and coordinate client care through collaboration with other service providers and agencies. 

When you are feeling hurt and broken, know that you are not alone, God is with you. He shines his light through those broken pieces to shine his glory. Through the power of prayer, and building your inner strength, healing can begin.
