Amanda Hurley

With a unique blend of environmental science and mental health expertise, Amanda Hurley, CPC, brings a holistic approach to her therapy practice at Healing Minds. Her journey from environmental biology to clinical mental health counseling has equipped her with a distinctive perspective on human resilience and healing.

Amanda's therapeutic toolkit is as diverse as her background. Specializing in trauma treatment for individuals of all ages, she employs a variety of techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns resulting from past trauma. Her integrative approach incorporates mindfulness techniques, attachment theory, and encourages mindful movement as part of the healing process. This multifaceted strategy allows her to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, whether they're seeking individual therapy, couples counseling, or family support.

As a firm believer in the human capacity to heal, Amanda's practice extends beyond traditional talk therapy. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a powerful tool for processing traumatic experiences. Additionally, her experience working with the Nevada Army National Guard's Resilience, Risk Reduction, Suicide Prevention, and Substance Abuse Prevention programs has honed her skills in crisis intervention and support for service members and their families.

Amanda's commitment to healing isn't confined to the therapy room. Her move from Philadelphia to Reno was driven by a desire to be closer to nature, reflecting her belief in the therapeutic power of the outdoors. This personal passion often informs her practice, as she encourages clients to connect with their environment as part of their healing journey.

At Healing Minds, Amanda offers a range of services including individual therapy, family and marriage counseling, group therapy, and telehealth options. Her adaptable approach and diverse skill set make her particularly well-suited to work with clients facing complex trauma, relationship issues, and those seeking a more holistic path to mental wellness. Whether you're looking for in-person sessions or the convenience of telehealth, Amanda is ready to guide you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.
