About Amanda
“Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. The goal of resilience isn’t to just survive but thrive.”- Jamais Cascio
​
My name is Amanda Glaros, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW-C) and a Certified Advanced Addiction Counselor (CAADC). Through my education, life experiences, and over 15 years of clinical practice, I have witnessed the power of resilience, even in the most challenging circumstances.
I earned my master’s degree from Wayne State University and focused my studies on cognitive behavioral therapy and addiction. I also earned a post graduate certificate in trauma from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Whatever has brought you to therapy, choosing to begin this work is an irreplaceable gift to yourself. I draw from a variety of treatment modalities and work collaboratively with each client to find what fits best for them. Therapy is not one size fits all, and I believe in individualized, tailored treatment that supports your unique goals. I work alongside my clients as they navigate challenges, build insight, and move toward meaningful change.
I specialize in working with teens, and adults, who want to address trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and over all life adjustment issues. I work with law enforcement officers and first responders who may have had difficulty connecting in traditional therapy.
I’m not the “how does that make you feel?” therapist. I’m the older sister therapist, the one who will help guide you and keep you accountable (with compassion, of course). If you’re ready to do the work, I’d love to work with you.
Ask Amanda:
Who is your ideal client?
My ideal client is someone who is tired of surviving and ready to start healing. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, and you want practical tools, structure, and accountability, not just a place to vent. You’re ready to be supported and challenged in a safe, honest therapeutic relationship.
What do you like about being a therapist?
I love being a therapist because I get to have real, honest conversations that lead to real change. There’s something powerful about helping someone connect the dots, take accountability, and start showing up differently in their life.
What's something you wish people knew about therapy?
Therapy isn’t about fixing you, because you’re not broken. It’s about understanding your patterns, learning new skills, and having someone help you stay accountable to the changes you say you want.
Why can people benefit from therapy?
People benefit from therapy because it offers a safe, supportive space to heal, grow, and learn how to show up differently in their relationships, work, and daily life.
What's something you'd like clients to know about you or how you work?
I want clients to know that my approach is both supportive and direct. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or quick fixes, it’s about building skills, understanding patterns, and creating real, sustainable change.
