Amanda Novachek, LCMHCA, Therapist in Cary, North Carolina

When appropriate, physical activity and/or mind-muscle connection (of any kind) is a great tool that can be used in conjunction with talk therapy. Whether working through anxiety and depression, life transitions, career or family challenges, or just feeling stuck, I support clients by helping them find their physical and mental strength to push through whatever life throws at them. I believe in training the whole person. My work is grounded in empowerment and believe that true healing happens when the body and mind are working together.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Master’s in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling in 2017. After graduating, I owned and operated a boxing program for people with Parkinson’s Disease for 8 years while personal training at a local gym in Raleigh. I have extensive experience working with individuals with neurodegenerative disorders and other acquired disabilities while managing grief and life transition/adjustment. Since entering the clinical space in 2024, I have continued to work with this population, while finding connection with those struggling to manage anxiety/depression/emotional regulation, navigate family and/or career challenges, and are parents of children with ADHD.
