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, ACT, DBT, 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.”

Mental health support isn’t just about therapy, Mental health support isn’t just about therapy, medication, teaching coping skills, or processing past trauma. We are committed to understanding how sociopolitical issues impact our mental health and the repeal of Roe vs Wade has us very concerned about the negative impact on women’s mental health. MPA Founder Jennifer Panning PsyD will be writing more about this issue in the near future. It is very difficult  to have good mental health when there are so many destabilizing factors in our society—we’ve seen the traumatic impact of the pandemic and impending fascism. We are committed to helping decrease anxiety, depression, and trauma…Let’s figure out a way to mobilize together to best navigate what may be another example of women being disrespected and disempowered.  #mindfulpsychologyevanston #mindfulpsychologyassociates #evanston #abortionishealthcare #abortionisawomansright #psychology #trauma #chicagotherapist #psychologistsofinstagram #anxiety #depression
Great news for #evanston! Thanks to city council a Great news for #evanston! Thanks to city council and Mayor Biss for approving funding to build a mental health “Living Room” resource center as an alternative to emergency rooms when people are experiencing a psychiatric crisis and need supportive services. This will be a valuable addition to the community to address mental health needs.

Thanks @newyorkercartoons for summing up current r Thanks @newyorkercartoons for summing up current reactions and feelings about the #covid_19 #pandemic…lots of talk in therapy sessions about how to cope with the roller coaster of emotions surrounding the pandemic as well as other major sociopolitical stressors…we stand consistent with recommending minimizing media consumption, finding ways to access joy and creativity, and noticing what is in and out of our control.
