Amanda Arana

Amanda Arana

Therapist

Virtual • California


I've been in private practice for 12 years and work with young adults aged18 - 30. I’ve always been interested in the way our experiences, relationships, beliefs, and thought patterns shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This interest led me to begin my career by working with an anti-human trafficking organization providing resources and aftercare services for rescued and recovered teen girls. I’ve also worked for local school districts as a high school special education crisis counselor and in-class behavior interventionist.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, and continuing to learn about health and whole-person wellness.
