Therapeutic Approach
Therapy works best when it meets you where you are. I take a collaborative, person-centered approach, using strategies that are practical, supportive, and focused on helping you move forward. My work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including:
In our sessions, therapy is both a space to reflect and a process to take action. We identify what feels stuck, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and focus on changes that fit your life and values. The goal is meaningful, sustainable progress—not quick fixes.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learning to make space for difficult emotions while moving toward a meaningful life.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and shifting thought patterns that may be holding you back.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Building awareness and finding greater calm in the present moment.
- Trauma-Focused Therapy: Safely processing past experiences to reduce their impact on your present.
- Strength-Based Approaches: Building on your existing strengths and resilience to navigate new challenges.

To schedule an initial consultation to learn more about my services, you can leave me a voicemail at 813-521-8084. I try to return calls within 48 hours or the next business day for calls left over the weekend. You can also contact me by email at Amandalroutten@gmail.com.

I recommend that clients start therapy with weekly sessions, but we can tailor the frequency to what works best for you. Therapy can be either short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs. The time it takes to see results from counseling varies; some clients might notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a longer duration of therapy.
