Dr. Amanda Draheim is a licensed psychologist dedicated to building strong, collaborative relationships with her clients. She believes therapy works best when it is rooted in trust, respect, and open communication. Her approach is client-centered, meaning she works alongside individuals to help them make informed decisions about treatment, adjust approaches as needed, and stay actively engaged in the healing process.

Dr. Draheim has extensive experience helping clients move beyond the impact of sexual trauma, anxiety, and related challenges to build fuller, more meaningful lives. She sees adults ages 18–70 and specializes in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder. She also supports clients navigating self-esteem concerns, stress, panic attacks, sleep difficulties, sexual dysfunction, dysfunctional eating patterns, and specific phobias.

Her therapeutic style is flexible and evidence-based. She integrates Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), feminist therapy, and multicultural frameworks. Treatment is always individualized—chosen collaboratively with clients to fit their strengths, values, and goals.

Dr. Draheim is deeply committed to creating an inclusive and affirming environment. She is proud to serve clients from diverse backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people of color, single parents, and those living with chronic health conditions. She believes in approaching each client with cultural humility, openness, and genuine respect.

“When I was a student, I learned how psychological distress can make a person’s world feel smaller and smaller. As a teacher and therapist, I’ve discovered that suffering is only part of the story—therapy is also about the courage, flexibility, and creativity it takes to grow. Seeking therapy is not weakness; it is an act of bravery. If you are on the fence about starting, I hope you take the leap and discover the strength you’ve had all along.” — Dr. Amanda Draheim
