Amanda Wentz

Amanda Wentz has worked in the field of social work since completing her master’s degree in 2014 at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. After earning a bachelor’s degree in social work in 2012, she spent a year at a homeless shelter, which helped clarify her decision to pursue advanced clinical training.

She completed her required clinical hours for licensure in April 2018 and holds licensure as a clinical social worker in both North Carolina and Texas. Over seven years of practice, Amanda has provided services at three different outpatient mental health centers, supporting people across a range of ages, diagnoses, and life stages.

Much of her clinical work focuses on helping individuals manage anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and grief. She comes from a strengths-based therapeutic background and has completed certified training in Trauma-Focused CBT and in treating anxiety.

Amanda approaches therapy as a collaborative process that combines her clinical expertise with each person’s own knowledge of their life. She aims to offer practical tools and may respectfully challenge clients when it supports growth, while leaving choices about the pace and direction of work in the client’s hands. She values hearing each person’s story and serving as a supportive sounding board during times of change.
