Amanda McDade

Amanda McDade is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor with 4 years of clinical experience. She provides support for stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, and a range of other challenges including addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, anger management, career struggles, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She has extensive experience working with older adults and their families as well as with people navigating chronic illness and economic stressors. Amanda approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion - human to human - and values the steady presence of a trained listener as part of the healing process.

Therapy is tailored to each person’s specific needs and goals. Her practice is informed by Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Existential Therapy, with an acknowledgement that there is no single right approach for everyone.

Amanda finds this work both simple in its presence and deep in its impact; she considers it an honor to sit with someone as they explore new ways of living. Seeking a more fulfilling or happier life takes courage, and she aims to support and empower people as they take those first intentional steps toward change.

She is licensed in Washington as a mental health counselor (WA LMHC, license LH61148354) and is available to work with individuals looking for compassionate, practical support.
