🍃NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!🍃

Amanda Adams Therapy is in network with Aetna, First Health, Providence Health Plan, and United Healthcare and will also be credentialed with MODA effective 12/1/26 (currently in the process of contracting with Blue Cross Blue Shield).

In the meantime, I’m able to request single case agreements for clients with other insurance or provide a super bill for out of network reimbursement. (If this sounds confusing, let’s talk! I can help make sense of this process.)

Lastly, I offer a sliding scale for cash pay clients and currently have openings for Monday telehealth appointments.

If you or someone you know is seeking mental health support, please reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation for introductions and to help decide if we’re a good fit.

A large study in 2019 found that there are Positive Childhood Experiences (PCE) that help buffer the impact of adverse/traumatic experiences. These seven factors provided resiliency so that those with higher ACES scores had lower odds of mental health issues as an adult (with more PCEs being more impactful).

While only some of these can be directly developed within the school setting, I think even just sharing this info with caregivers can be helpful!

🤝The authors of the study theorized that the PCEs lead to greater social and emotional support not only as children, but through adulthood. That receiving support when they were younger meant they were more likely to seek it out and receive it as adults and that lead to better mental health.

It can be helpful to identify and name problems. Understanding is the first step; taking accountability for past behavior and choosing how to move forward is necessary for growth.
