Dr. Amanda (Snell) Stagg, Evanston Psychologist, Coordinator of Training

Providing therapy for Evanston adults.

Dr. Amanda (Snell) Stagg
Dr. Amanda (Snell) Stagg

“I believe that meaningful change in therapy begins with the development of a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship. Additionally, in any healthy relationship, the development of trust and safety is often a collaborative experience that takes time. My goal is to ease this process and help to create a safe space where you can feel seen and heard as you begin to address your concerns. Within therapy, I show up authentically with my clients in which I balance compassion, empathy, and humor with direct feedback and support as we work towards your goals.

“In therapy, we will explore how any distressing emotions, thoughts, urges, or life events contribute to your experience in the world today while also considering systemic and relational factors. Pulling from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices, I work with my clients to help strengthen the mind-body connection and support skill development when helpful as you work towards connecting to the things you treasure most in your life.”

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Th It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week!
