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.”

This week after the tragic suicide of dancer Steph This week after the tragic suicide of dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss, many have been discussing the importance of reaching out to loved ones and friends to check in and express care. This is a great way to cultivate relationships with support and vulnerability!  However, if your loved one is in fact struggling and wants to talk to you, what are some things to consider?  Please keep these things in mind as you talk with them, and remember that listening and communicating care and concern are powerful ways for someone to feel supported!  We hope these dos and don’ts may help! Are there any that you would add to our list?  #mindfulpsychologyassociates #mindfulpsychologyevanston #psychologist #psychologistsofinstagram #chicagotherapists #chicagotherapy #evanston #mentalhealthmatters #listening
