Amanda Harrington

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist who works with children and adult women.

I believe therapy is a team effort — whether that be between you and I in individual therapy or between you as a parent, your child, and myself.  Many people feel guilt and shame around the issues that bring them to therapy. My approach is rooted in grace and compassion and my goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. I believe you or your child already have within in you the ability to make the changes you are seeking.

The core belief guiding my work is that growth and healing happen in relationship. Every time a client, parent, or caregiver trusts me with their story, I am deeply honored. I strive to create a safe and encouraging space where individuals and families can learn new ways of thinking, feeling, and connecting with one another.

I have worked in the school setting and have experience providing both group and individual therapy. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, attention and focus concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients with ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, sensory processing issues, intellectual delays, behavioral struggles, low self-esteem, and trauma.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Wayland Baptist University, then returned to Houston to complete a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Houston.

Outside of my work, I am married and have a young daughter. Our family enjoys spending time in nature, traveling, cooking, and exploring new restaurants. I love discovering the beauty of God’s creation and visiting historic sites.
