Amanda Chatelain, MA, LPC, ATR, is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist. Amanda carries out trauma-informed art and play therapy treatment with children and adolescents, while simultaneously providing caregiver support to strengthen connections within the family unit. She has experience supporting children and their loved ones with anxiety, PTSD, depression, grief and bereavement, relationship issues, adoption, and trauma or other significant life stressors. The foundation of Amanda’s art therapy practice is rooted in developmental, client-centered, and strength-based modalities to support a child’s individualized well-being and healing journey.
Amanda’s approach to treatment is creative, open, and warm, with the intention of providing a space for children to be themselves and work through their feelings and experiences. She believes that creativity is a universal language of expression across the life span. Not only does it evoke joy and self-expression, it provides a vehicle to communicate, regulate, and play. Through art therapy, children can explore their inner world, practice new skills, and deepen their self-understanding. Amanda believes in the child’s ability to transform through engaging with the creative process in a safe and supportive environment – art is a significant vehicle that a child can use to work toward positive change.
