About me:

Amanda Lewis, LCPC, CADC, is dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome trauma, addiction, and life’s most difficult challenges.

Expertise:

I have worked in the counseling field as a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, focusing specifically on treating individuals and families that have been directly impacted by addiction since 2006.

In the more resent years, I have expanded my professional development and have found my passion for working with children and adolescents who are impacted by trauma, toxic stress and an array of other adverse experiences.

My Approach/Philosophy:

I use a trauma-focused approach which is incorporated into multiple theoretical orientations and interventions which are tailored to meet the needs of the individual I am working with.

What do you love about Restoring Hope?

My favorite thing about being a part of Restoring Hope is the opportunity to envision, create and design a life changing program with my two closest friends, my business partners.

of those who dare to make dreams into reality."  ~Jonas Salk
