Amy Beadling, LCSW

With all the pressures of life stacked against us, it is easy to lose focus on what keeps us feeling well and whole.  My goal is to help you address the barriers that may be keeping you from feeling your best by providing a safe, non-judgmental setting in which to work.  Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, make goals to get through these barriers, and find strategies to employ for success. My approach to counseling is eclectic and I work collaboratively with clients to meet the needs of each individual. 

I pull from a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) framework to assist people in developing skills and employ strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to assist with increasing psychological flexibility.  I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I primarily work with individuals struggling with anxiety, worry, stress, relationship issues, depression, substance use, and grief. I serve adults ages 18 and older and provide individual sessions or couples counseling.

I specialize in the treatment of: 

·      Anxiety Disorders: General, Social, Panic

·      Mood Disorders: Depression

·      Adjustment Disorders: Managing symptoms related to current stressors                                                

·      Interpersonal Issues: Communication, family stressors, getting along with others

·      Behavior Change: Breaking habits or creating more effective behavior patterns

·      Mindfulness: The ability to focus on the present and be more purposeful

·      Stress Management/Relaxation: Developing skills to manage or decrease stress

·      Couples Work: Issues specific to couples and romantic partnerships

·      General Wellbeing: Support in creating intentional habits and structures to be well

 

I have been a patient of Ms Beadling's for several years now.  As most people probably are, I was a little anxious to see her, or maybe that's why I needed to see her!!!  I cannot say enough though about how well Narayan Therapy is run and how much Ms. Beadling has helped me.  I spoke with the office a couple times about scheduling and insurance issues.  Both times, my calls were handled quickly & efficiently.  Ms. Beadling is a very mature, knowledgeable,  understanding and  empathetic therapist.  She has many times tied things together in my life that I didn't quite see .  She also has the ability to say the right thing to make me look at a situation more clearly.  Ms. Beadling has helped me learn to accept and to adjust to the changes in my life and turmoil in the world in a manner that doesn't cause me stress like it used to.
