Amanda Almendarez provides compassionate and personalized mental health care to patients across Texas, helping them build the tools and confidence needed to move forward in life. She works with teens, adults, and seniors through individual therapy, offering a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, learn healthier coping skills, and discover new ways of approaching challenges. With expertise in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, Amanda focuses on helping clients create meaningful change and improve overall emotional well-being. She is especially passionate about supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, or struggles with borderline personality disorder. Amanda understands how deeply these experiences can impact daily life and relationships, and she provides guidance rooted in empathy and evidence-based treatment to foster healing and resilience. Her dedication lies in walking alongside clients as they process past pain and work toward building a more stable and hopeful future. Amanda serves a diverse range of clients, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, military service members and veterans, and women navigating complex life transitions. She draws on therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques to help individuals identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and improve emotional regulation. In addition to these areas of focus, she offers support for ADHD, bipolar disorder, postpartum challenges, and grief, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of her clients. Outside of her clinical work, Amanda enjoys reading, spending time with her husband and daughter, and caring for their two dogs. These personal passions reflect her values of connection and balance, which also shape her therapeutic approach.

About a month ago, I started with my new counselor, Amanda Almendarez, at LifeStance. My previous counselor denied my request for an appointment after a month. Honestly, I was kinda surprised that my previous counselor denied my appointment. However, Amanda was very supportive and kind in helping me with my mental state. Amanda made me aware of my situation and I was very grateful that Amanda made me think outside the walls. I am very grateful that Amanda’s is my NEW counselor. I look forward to working with her on conquering my personal issues.

Amanda is amazing! I'm extremely uptight about planning and having a plan and a backup plan. ..talking to her helps me not be so crazy about schedules, and cleaning and planning. She helps me to see that I can relax and nothing bad will happen. I look forward to seeing her every week.

Amanda is very welcoming, kind, knowledgeable, and empathetic to my specific needs regarding narcissistic abuse and coping skills after separation. I appreciate her and her care very deeply. I feel seen and heard.
