Amanda Tran, located in California, commits her practice to process-driven and relationship-focused psychotherapy, cultivated through curiosity and compassion. By creating an inclusive atmosphere, she opens a comforting space for reflection, rest, and the reimagination of self. Amanda intimately understands the struggle of juggling familial expectations and cultural pressures, as she herself was born as the eldest child to traditional Vietnamese parents. Her diverse background empowers her in assisting individuals who are navigating the complexities of identity, exploring the unfamiliar 'in-betweens', and courageously venturing into new potentialities. Furthermore, Amanda carefully fosters a practice rich in compassion, self-awareness, and physical realization.

Amanda's approach is trauma-sensitive, pleasure-forward, and deeply affirming to polyamorous, neurodiverse, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Her commitment is toward holistic and culturally responsive care, deeply rooted in anti-oppression techniques. Recognizing her social location on land improperly taken from the Tamien, Ramaytush, Lisjan, and Muwekma Ohlone peoples, she acknowledges that she has benefited from colonial practices. With respect to this, Amanda continuously strives to unlearn oppressive behaviors while cultivating a respectful connection with the land's original stewards. In personal quiet moments, she tends to a practice of transforming challenging and often painful experiences into opportunities for healing and growth. As a neurodivergent, agender, disabled, queer individual and a child of forcibly dislocated people, she simultaneously acknowledges her privileges such as being of a young age, light-skinned, thin, cisgender-passing, and working/middle-class, with a Master’s degree and reliable access to material and community resources. Amanda is continuously grateful to her mentors and teachers who have impacted her perspective on mental health and healing approaches.
