About My Clients
You’ve grown up wondering if you’re weird, wrong, or at fault. You feel like you don’t align with your family, your assigned gender, or traditional relationships. You wonder if you speak the same language as others in your world. You’ve tried to fit in, overachieve, and meet others’ standards, but have always felt like you’re missing the mark. You feel stuck, like everyone else knows something you don’t. Now, you want guidance, support, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your ideal life.
My Background and Approach
My name is Amanda McLean. I am an individual therapist licensed in Washington State with 10+ years of experience in therapeutic interventions with clients presenting with a variety of different concerns. I also carry the credentials of Child Mental Health Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist. I like working with folks with anxiety, LGBTQIA-related concerns, neurodivergent adults (Autism, professionally or self-diagnosed, or ADHD), relationship issues including those in non-traditional relationships, and stress-related, motivation, and self-esteem challenges. Another population I love to work with are parents of neurodivergent children; I use my Child and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist knowledge to assist clients, as well as my experience of parenting an autistic child.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you are the expert on your situation and come with the ability to overcome challenges, even if it may not feel that way right now. You are capable of making change, and I'm here to help. I believe everyone deserves to be heard with compassion and respect. I have a collaborative approach to therapy, helping identify challenges, hearing your big-picture ideas and supporting you in breaking these down into actionable steps to make your life into something that is more in line with your desires. In session, I love to connect over clients’ hobbies and interests, humor, and find ways to leverage these as we work to meet your goals.
