Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I’m Amanda.
A real person,

in your corner.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy throughout Nevada. I'm here to help you feel heard, supported, and more like yourself.

Henderson. Las Vegas. Anthem. Inspirada. Green Valley. North Las Vegas. Lake Las Vegas. Summerlin. Boulder City. Pahrump. Reno. Sparks. Elko. and throughout Nevada

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief, and other mental health challenges.

I bring a compassionate, creative, and detail-oriented approach to individual, couples, and family therapy. With over a decade of experience, I believe meaningful work begins with a genuine connection.

 

I attended Misericordia University for my undergraduate degree in Psychology, and then Marywood University where I completed my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. My primary focus is individual, couples, and family therapy.

"You are the expert on you. I’m simply the passenger you’ve chosen to help guide you on your journey."

Amanda Yurko, LCPC

My Approach

Your story is unique.
Your therapy should be
too.

No two people are built the same. Your experiences, relationships, values, goals, and circumstances are unique to you.

​

We'll explore what's bringing you to therapy and choose approaches that make sense for your life.​ I use evidence-based practices to build a custom toolkit that you can actually take with you when you walk out the door.
​

That might mean exploring patterns, building coping skills, working through difficult emotions, improving communication, or developing healthier boundaries. Sometimes it means making room to understand yourself more deeply.

What Therapy Feels Like With Me

Comfortable. Collaborative.
Completely you.

Collaborative

You are the expert on your own life. We’ll decide together which approaches make sense for you.

Practical

Meaningful tools and strategies you can use between sessions, in your everyday life.

A calm, welcoming space—like settling
into a living room or a favorite coffee shop.

Judgement-Free

Show up exactly as you are. No editing yourself or pretending everything is okay.

Compassionate

Difficult experiences deserve understanding. There is room here for what you’re feeling.

Individualized

Your care should fit your experiences, needs, and goals. We’ll shape the work around you.

My Background

Grounded in experience.
Led by
connection.

I’m dedicated to helping you feel more confident setting boundaries, managing stress, and making decisions through thoughtful, evidence-based care.

Outside the Therapy Room

The little things
keep me
 grounded.

I'm a wife, mom, and someone who believes that the little things in life matter. I love time outdoors, hiking, being near the beach, and listening to rock music. 
 

You'll also find me cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies and the Vegas Golden Knights. Balancing family life with my practice keeps me grounded, energized, and deeply connected to the importance of work-life balance.
​
I share this because therapy is ultimately about connection. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself while receiving professional, compassionate care.

You don't have to figure it out all on your own.

Start where you are. We'll take the next step together. 

A Small Step. A Meaningful Beginning.
