Amanda BenlienClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenges of substance use, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—approaches that support real change by combining empathy, skill-building, and a strong therapeutic alliance. With 8 years of clinical experience and lived experience with addiction and family trauma, I bring both professional knowledge and real-world understanding into the therapy room. One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to truly meet people where they are. My lived experience with trauma and substance use affords me the opportunity to connect with individuals in an authentic way.
