Hi! I’m Amanda Vargo

I am so honored you found Empowered Wellness. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional with over 10 years of experience in the counseling field. My passion lies in empowering women to better manage their stress + emotions and overcome various challenges in their life from breakups to motherhood.

In my free time, you will probably find me at Disney with my husband and our daughter. I love going for walks with our two golden retrievers, enjoying a sunset at the beach and watching my comfort show Friends.

I take an integrative approach by incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques throughout the therapy process. This helps to give you concrete tools + coping skills to manage your emotions as well as challenge your negative or anxious thoughts.  Most importantly, you can expect to be met with compassionate support in a safe and non-judgmental space.
