Amanda Hartwig, MA, LPC, C-DBT

Navigating through life can feel like a rollercoaster ride—full of unexpected twists, ups and downs, and no clear blueprint to follow. At times, it’s normal to feel stuck or like you’ve exhausted all your options. My goal in counseling is to help you get unstuck and find your way back onto the ride we call life.

I deeply value the uniqueness of each person I work with. My counseling approach is strength-based and solution-focused, tailored to fit your individual experiences. I am proud to hold certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which equips me with specialized tools to help you build emotional resilience and develop effective coping skills.

I strive to help you find practical, obtainable solutions by drawing on the strengths you already possess. My work also embraces the important connection between mind, body, and spirit—each playing a vital role in shaping who we are, our beliefs, behaviors, and values.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University and hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Central Michigan University, with a minor in Substance Abuse Education: Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment.

I enjoy working with adults and teens facing addictive behaviors such as substance abuse, eating disorders, and self-injury. I am also passionate about supporting those who struggle with depression, mood instability, adjustment disorders, and everyday life challenges.
