Amanda Bull, LCPC

my approach

I believe that humans are wired toward growth and that growth happens in the context of safe relationships, including our relationships within with different parts of our own self. My practice is grounded in attachment theory - I seek to develop secure attachments with my clients, our co-created relationship then serving as a healing environment from past relational trauma and misalignments.

My practice is also grounded in the trauma-informed theoretical orientation of Internal Family Systems - I believe each of my clients has access to a sturdy & grounded Self from which they can lead with curiosity & compassion, clarity & confidence. Together, without judgment and with a generous spirit, we will explore the multifaceted parts of you - wounds & protective parts alike. Our work will support you as you come back to a sense of groundedness and home in your own self.

At the systemic level, I am deeply aware of how intergenerational and systemic trauma, oppression, stigmatization, white supremacy, and the patriarchy have negatively impacted the communities and mental health of those I serve. I am committed to affirmative practice - our work in the therapy room will re-center narratives through an inclusive, feminist, antiracist, anti-oppressive lens.
