Amanda Scardino

Amanda Scardino acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help during a difficult season of life and honors that first step toward support. She listens attentively, explores options with clients, and aims to restore a steadier, more balanced quality of life through collaborative work.

Rather than handing down answers, Amanda helps people discover the questions that move them forward. She approaches each person with responsiveness, empathy, and compassion as they navigate challenging circumstances together.

She has practiced as a Professional Counselor in Texas for more than 25 years. Amanda holds licensure as a Professional Counselor in Texas; her LPC credential is 61565. Her background includes work in private practice, educational settings, and a treatment network, and she values the diverse perspectives those roles have provided in supporting clients through change.

Amanda uses client-centered methods alongside Reality therapy, brief therapy, and solution-focused approaches, with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She stresses how thoughts and feelings influence behavior and uses CBT as a goal-oriented, evidence-based way to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors to improve daily functioning. Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, grief and intimacy-related concerns, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, and ADHD support. If someone is ready to take that step, Amanda offers support and empowerment throughout the process.
