Life can feel messy and overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Meet Amanda Sloane
As a former journalist, I’ve spent my career listening to people’s stories and helping them find meaning in their experiences. Now, as a graduate-level counseling intern, I bring that same curiosity, compassion, and respect for storytelling into my work with clients.
I believe that your voice matters, including the way you express your truth. Sometimes, though, your journey can feel complicated or uncertain. Using evidence-based counseling techniques, I help people make sense of their lives, discover their strengths, and reconnect with their most authentic selves.
My goal is to walk alongside you as a guide, offering support and perspective while you take the lead in shaping the life you want. Together, we’ll work to untangle what’s holding you back so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose, ready to write your next chapter.
LET’S GET STARTED
I am currently offering telehealth sessions under the supervision of Rhonda Niemeyer, LPC, at Lifeline Therapy.
Please reach out for a consultation call to discuss next steps.

FAQs
What is a counseling intern?
I am a graduate student at UWA completing supervised clinical training toward licensure. This means you receive my dedicated attention plus the support of a licensed supervisor.
Do you have a specialty?
I work primarily with “high-achievers” navigating burnout, creative blocks, identity issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling “stuck.” That being said, my space is inclusive and welcoming to all.
Do you work with LGBTQ+ clients?
Absolutely. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and provides a safe, respectful space for self-exploration and growth.
Do you work with clients from diverse faith backgrounds or those with no faith affiliation?
I’m a secular counselor who respects all belief systems and backgrounds. I also understand that faith can be complex, and I work sensitively with clients who have experienced religious or spiritual trauma.
Do you offer telehealth or in-person sessions?
All sessions are offered through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth. You can meet from the comfort of your own space.
What can I expect in the first session?
We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and start getting to know one another in a relaxed, conversational way.
How long are sessions and how often will we meet?
Sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients start weekly and adjust frequency as they make progress.
How much do sessions cost?
Sessions are $25 each. Working with a counseling intern is a great way to receive quality care at a reduced rate while I complete my supervised clinical training.
How do I know if you’re the right fit for me?
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to make sure we’re a good fit. The counseling relationship is the most important part of therapy, so think of it as a quick “vibe check” before we begin.
