About Me

Amanda Hiemenz

Licensed Therapist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (#S10026) granted by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. I am also a National Certified Counselor (#310456) granted by the National Board for Certified Counselors. ASH Counseling, PLLC has met requirements of the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and is duly certified to render counseling services as a professional counseling corporation within the state of North Carolina (#PC15056).

I received My Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Saginaw Valley State University (MI), in 2005. And received my Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina Central University, in 2012.

ASH Counseling, PLLC provides over 14 years of experience in the mental health field, within both public and private settings. I have provided counseling and therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults within in-home services, outpatient agencies, and private practice settings. I have led DBT skills groups for adolescents. I specialize in treating persons 13 and up struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, family conflict, separation, divorce, life transitions, parenting concerns, body image, and grief/loss.

My therapeutic approach is strengths based and integrative, which allows me to address a varying number of situations with clients whose needs are all unique. However, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) are often part of my counseling approach. I find that these approaches often lend themselves to measurable change, in a time frame that is mindful of clients financial and time limitations.
