Amanda Mullen

Amanda Mullen

Therapist

Virtual • Charleston, IL


Hello! I'm Amanda Mullen, a Licensed Therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I), licensed in South Carolina and Illinois.

As a veteran and former military spouse, I'm especially passionate about supporting veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. While every person's experience is unique, I understand many of the challenges these communities face through both professional training and lived experience.

One philosophy that guides my work is simple: I don't preach—I teach. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life but to help you better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and gain the confidence to navigate life's challenges long after therapy ends. I genuinely believe in the techniques I use because I've seen their ability to create lasting change.

I also believe healing extends beyond the therapy office. Spending time in nature, slowing down, and reconnecting with yourself can be powerful tools for growth and resilience, and I often encourage clients to incorporate these practices into their daily lives.

My greatest strength as a therapist is creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, coping with work stress, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday life—even potty training a new puppy—you'll find a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free environment. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person

50 South Milwaukee Avenue, Lake Villa, IL

Great to meet you! I've been helping people sleep better since 2002. I'm a Licensed Psychologist (IL) and a Registered Sleep Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in therapy for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.

Most of my clients have struggled with chronic or acute insomnia and feel stuck in the cycle — they've tried all the usual tips and tricks, but nothing seems to work. I take a thorough approach because easy fixes rarely solve sleep problems. I start by understanding everything that may be affecting your sleep, then build a plan around you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

1300 North Highland Avenue, Aurora, IL

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel real, human, and grounded in honest conversation. With experience in community mental health, treatment courts, group work, and clinical supervision, in addition to working with individuals navigating trauma, identity, and personal change. I also teach and mentor future counselors while researching the psychological experiences of individuals living with vitiligo. I bring a little bit of humor into therapy, because let’s face it, in this day and age a little bit of laughing takes stress off our already hectic lives; though when it is time to get serious, we will address all and any issues that may be hindering your pathways of life. My philosophy: “people are more than their labels, and growth begins when people feel seen, heard, and respected.”
