Hi, I'm Amanda 'Mandy' Schramm! I have been working in the field for eight years and providing therapy for three. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Psychology from Sam Houston State University as well as a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I have many years of experience working with adolescents in residential settings as well as inpatient settings. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to help them navigate through life (it definitely doesn't come with a handbook!) and meet them where they are. One size does not fit all in counseling, so I pull from different approaches to provide clients with a unique experience tailored for them.

As a transcendental therapist I hear and guide perspectives to clear what may be stuck. As a non-judging deeply compassionate witness I create safe space to navigate complex layers of your human journey. Some tools I use: relational warmth, mindfulness, breathwork, groundbreaking ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, trauma lens, intuitive integrative care attuning directly to your healing needs through empowerment of the encountered presence.  

I help people explore the self-doubt and dissatisfaction in an otherwise put together life. Your life not so put together? Or falling apart? I can help there too. I believe you already have the qualities to transform your life and your relationships. With the right perspective and support system, difficult times can transition to a stronger, more resilient you. I can provide you with a safe and nurturing environment when life feels overwhelming or challenging. I work from a strength-based and practical perspective that supports self-exploration and healing.

A PMHNP with the passion to help you and see you succeed. 

My education in counseling and nutrition puts me in a unique position of providing comprehensive care for issues around eating, body image, and digestive health, while also being able to focus on nutrition-specific or psychology-specific concerns, such as anxiety, depression and other developmental matters. I believe that counseling is helpful at all stages of the lifespan, so I work with children, couples, families, and individual adults. My goal as a counselor is to support the emotional and personal growth of our community in a safe, accessible environment.  I embrace ACT, CBT, and MI, with person-centered, feminist and multicultural perspectives, focusing on lifting up voices of those who historically have not felt heard. I am an empathetic, patient listener and I believe strongly that my role as a counselor is to give my clients as much safe space as they need to process whatever their current situation is. I work in an integrated setting with other licensed mental health counselors, as well as other disciplines, such as nutritionists and NDs, as I believe that health is integrated and that we can best serve our community when all of these disciplines come together to be of service.

I am a licensed therapist working with adults with chronic illness.
