Amanda Stretcher is a trauma therapist in Dallas, TX helping you find healing from trauma, acute, chronic, or complex

My name is Amanda. I’m a trauma-informed therapist in Dallas and I can help

I’m passionate about helping you find healing from trauma, acute, chronic, or complex.

I understand the turbulent waters of trauma and the deep and often hidden struggles that come with this journey. Trauma therapy with me is more than just a service; it's a sanctuary where healing and understanding begin. The challenges you’re experiencing are real, valid, and deeply impactful.

I specialize in trauma therapy that addresses the unique needs of those with trauma, especially those with Complex PTSD. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and the latest in trauma-informed care. My mission is to guide you towards a life where trauma does not define your existence. A life where you can thrive, not just survive.

In therapy with me, here’s some of what you can expect:

  • Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) Framework: My therapy sessions are guided by the principles of IPNB, which help in understanding how your brain and relationships shape your experiences and responses to trauma.

  • Polyvagal Theory: I incorporate insights from Polyvagal Theory to help you understand and regulate your body's response to stress and trauma, fostering a sense of safety and agency.

  • Brainspotting and Safe and Sound Protocol: As a therapist trained in Brainspotting and certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol, I offer innovative methods that can help unlock and process deep-seated traumatic memories and emotions while helping you move toward regulation and safety.

  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy allows me to integrate somatic therapy techniques, attachment theory, cognitive applications, neuroscience, and techniques from the Hakomi mehtod to help reconnect you with your body, often disassociated due to trauma. This approach fosters a deeper healing process, allowing you to experience emotions and sensations in a safe and therapeutic environment.

  • Ego State Therapy: I Integrate ego state therapies into my practice, offering a comprehensive approach to healing from trauma. By acknowledging and working with the various 'parts' of your psyche, I aim to help you foster a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself, leading to profound and lasting change.

  • Individualized Care and Support: Every journey through trauma is unique. With me, your therapy is tailored to meet your individual needs, helping you build resilience and regain a sense of self.

“Any experience of fear and/or pain that doesn’t have the support it needs to be digested and integrated into the flow of our developing brains.”
