What draws me to this field is getting to work so closely with people to assist them in becoming the best versions of themselves. I obtained by BA in Psychology from San Diego State and my MA in MFT from Hope International. I had years of experience in community mental health, schools, and private practice. I have also worked with an array of demographics and cultures. Being a witness to my clients growing and thriving is the motivation that keeps me on this path today.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be fully seen, heard, and supported. My work is rooted in a holistic and culturally sensitive approach, honoring the many layers that shape who we are. Together, we work not just on what hurts, but on nurturing the parts of you that inspire growth, resilience, and joy.

I'm Amanda Stoner, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Danville, California, serving clients statewide through telehealth. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, and executive functioning.

With extensive knowledge of school and special education systems, including IEP and 504 supports, I'm well-equipped to help families navigate these complexities. My background includes a B.A. in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, giving me a strong foundation in human motivation and systems, and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, fueling my passion for supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the challenges of growth and development.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck or needing to focus? I enjoy partnering with my clients on their journeys to improved wellness. In our time together, we will celebrate your strengths and develop goals to maximize your wellness, together. While we can't change our past, we can work together to process our story’s strengths and struggles. We can talk through your current challenges and quiet the noise around you. We can explore the barriers that may get in the way of enjoying life to the fullest. We can identify ways to find joy again. I look forward to meeting with you to plan how to achieve your goals.

I am a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with 35 years of experience. I am a caring and dedicated therapist who often goes the extra mile when it will assist a client. I highly value creative and artistic expression, and I help my clients tap into their strengths and passions. I am able to do this, in part, based on my rich background in humanities and the arts (literature and theatre, expository and creative writing, acting and directing, and music: creative fields in which I've directly participated and/or taught at the undergraduate and graduate level). Clients I work with especially well are curious, introspective, willing to dig deep, and interested in becoming more compassionate towards themselves and others. They aren't afraid to look at their feelings in the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship.

Having worked in highly diverse settings and at multiple levels of care, (often with highly undeprivileged and stigmatized client, such as adolescent and sex offenders, inner-city alcoholics and substance abusers, and severely mentally-ill patients in psychiatric civil commitment ) I am able to help with a wide range of concerns, but some areas in which I am particularly skilled are major depression, bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, addictions, impulsive, compulsive, or excessively inhibited behavior, relationship issues, life crises, and the search for personal meaning.

Hi , I’m Katrina and I absolutely love listening to people . I listen to what you’re passionate about - and I listen to what you’re struggling with . I hope that by working together, we can make sense of the storm that feels like it’s overshadowing you at this moment. I like to incorporate Faith-based Christian counseling if you’re up for it! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) as well as a credentialed school counselor (PPS).

I work with adults 55 and older who are dealing with big life changes — illness, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply finding themselves in a chapter they didn’t plan for.

A lot of my clients come in because something has shifted. A diagnosis. A loss. The exhaustion of caring for someone else. Or that feeling of, “This isn’t the life I pictured.”

I’ve worked for many years alongside palliative care teams and with people living with serious illness. I understand how overwhelming medical decisions, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief can be.

I also know loss personally. My husband died after a battle with cancer, and rebuilding my own life changed how I sit with others. I don’t just understand this work professionally — I’ve lived parts of it.

Most of the people I see aren’t looking for years of therapy. They want a place to sort through what’s happening, get steadier, and figure out what comes next. We usually work together for a focused stretch — anywhere from a few sessions to a few months.

We meet by telehealth. It’s simple and private, and I’ll handle the logistics.
