Amanda Heslop, MA, Resident in Counseling

I graduated from Liberty University in 2022 with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and went on to earn my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2025. Throughout my training and professional experience, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of mental health settings with both adolescents and adults. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of counseling. Creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment allows clients to feel comfortable being vulnerable, exploring difficult experiences, and working toward meaningful change. I enjoy walking alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges and pouring into my clients as they strive toward their personal goals and a life that feels fulfilling to them. At the heart of my approach is the belief that we are not meant to go through life alone. Having someone to listen, encourage, and walk alongside you can make difficult seasons feel a little more manageable. Outside of counseling, I enjoy crocheting, baking (and, of course, taste-testing the finished product!), and getting lost in a good book.
