About me
I am licensed as a mental health counselor in Hawaii, and have over four years of counseling experience. I enjoy providing counseling services in the local community, with an emphasis on preventative and integrative wellness, normalization of development across the lifespan, cognitive behavior therapy, relaxation training, parent-child interaction therapy, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, family members of people with special needs, occupational counseling and solutions-focused interventions. I also have more than 12 years of experience teaching yoga and mindfulness practices, and I am passionate about helping people discover (or reinforce) tools to improve or maintain their mental, physical and social well-being across the lifespan.
I enjoy working with children, teens and families. As a mother to teenagers, auntie and counselor, I think it is really important for young people to have a safe non-judgmental place to talk about their experiences, ask questions and address their concerns. The teenage years are hard enough, but the changes that have occurred in our society since the COVID-19 pandemic have created unique challenges for the current youth, including stress related to changes in learning, socializing and planning for the future. I strive to treat teens, and all clients, with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda Webster. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Amanda listens to me, she is caring and understanding and goes with my out of the box thinking. She is awesome and helping me work through a lot of issues/problems. Highly recommend!
Amanda has been extremely helpful in talking through many career and workplace issues with me, and empowering me with coping mechanisms I am able to use in real life.
Highly knowledgeable staying up to date on many forms of therapy and is intuitive in ways that I haven’t experienced with other therapists. She’s the right fit for me.
Therapy with Amanda has b een life changing for my daughter. I can never thank you enough for all your help or ever show you truly how much gratitude i have for you.
Amanda is very personable and attentive. She has knowledge in marriage/family counseling. Amanda always gives good insight and goals for the upcoming week.
She is the best. Remembers details. Encourages depth. Sees you where you’re at and walks through your challenges with you with a lot of grace, knowledge and care. I’ve felt very lucky to be able to be under her wing :)
Amanda’s ability to help me navigate through my journey has given me tools and confidence to be able to make changes in myself which in turns affects those I love for the better. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Amanda was very patient and helpful from the beginning and provided great ways to help me understand several aspects of my situation. Enjoy working with her
I finally found a therapist that has some experience in adult ADHD, and is willing to learn even more to help me with my adult ADHD. This is rare and I am so happy. I feel confident in Amanda’s guidance and can see the benefit of our sessions already. I completely recommend her.
Amanda is extremely thoughtful and considerate. I felt instantly comfortable to share with her about my struggles. Amanda provides different perspectives, draws parallels and provides constructive feedback when necessary. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and consideration with everything. I highly recommend Amanda and trust her abilities!!
Amanda is so sweet and provides insight with such a gentleness! It helps you reframe what you’ve come to think before. I appreciate our sessions and leave feeling refreshed.
Amanda has been a great help and I greatly appreciate her expertise!
