Ready to feel empowered, find peace and live a more authentic life?

Hi! I’m Amanda Vargo

I am so honored you found Empowered Wellness. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor. I have over 10 years of experience in the counseling field. My passion lies in empowering teens and 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 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.
