Amanda Dunn, LPC

Amanda Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience in mental health. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and parenting transitions. Amanda often supports those coping with life changes, relationship concerns, sleep problems, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns.

She has substantial outpatient experience and has spent much of her time helping teens, young adults, and new parents. Amanda uses clear, practical methods in sessions and focuses on concrete skills people can try between meetings. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviors and offers ways to test new responses to old problems.

Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to shape sessions. She also uses EMDR for trauma processing and mindfulness tools for managing strong feelings. These are woven into a plan that the client and she develop together, rather than applied the same way to everyone.

In session, Amanda aims for straightforward conversation and step-by-step work. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, develop coping routines, and practice small behavioral changes. Sessions include education, skill practice, and check-ins on progress.

Practical concerns such as parenting stress, burnout, or sexual culture questions are addressed directly. Amanda also supports people with panic attacks, phobias, dissociation, and mood variability. She asks about goals early and keeps treatment focused on what the individual wants to change.
