Hi, I'm Amanda, the "The Known Mama" (TKM) creator and owner of psychotherapy practice Lassiter Counseling. TKM is the heart of my work, caring specifically for mothers in all stages. Too often women lose themselves in the idea of or being a mother, feeling lost or forgotten. Motherhood requires so much, yet who you are doesn't need to be sacrificed. MY INTENTION:
I work with women to find and pursue themselves again, helping them understand what it looks like to truly unconditionally love themselves first. To this end, TKM is built on the principle that you were made to be deeply known--known by yourself, in your relationships, in your community, and perhaps in your spirituality. Doing the self-discovery and leaning into it means you offer yourself more fully and more authentically. This wellness ripples across all relationships, including those with our children--we can only offer them the gifts, skills, love, and connection we have learned to offer ourselves. I care for my clients through motherhood, life transitions, identity struggles, grief,parent-child challenges, and other relational dynamics. Life is really hard, and often these situations can lead to depression, anxiety, other mood disorders and trauma. MY APPROACH:
My approach is relational. Sitting with me is like having a relaxed, intentional conversation. I celebrate your strengths while challenging you to grow. I care for you on both a technical and soulful level. By delving into your story, neuroscience, and somatics, you'll see how your story--the culmination of your life experiences and relationships--and your body are woven together. MY EXPERT TRAINING:
The most vulnerable parts of you need to be attuned to and healed. My postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy means I have the expertise to help you make a lasting difference in your life and consequently in the life of those you love. If you feel a connection, have a desire to be known please reach out.
