Amanda Garcia Torres, LMHC

My approach is direct and engaging. I work well with individuals who have not had success with traditional forms of talk therapy. Oftentimes, these people are looking for something dramatically different that can help them break through longstanding blocks and internal disconnects. I take your life and wellness very seriously. If we agree to work together, I will be completely committed to you and your healing journey. You will be challenged to work very hard, but I will be working right alongside you.

My Work

I am a Masters Certified (Schema) Chairwork Psychotherapist and have been practicing this powerful modality since 2013. I Co-Founded and Co-Direct the Chairwork Psychotherapy Initiative, training clinicians in the US and internationally since 2019 with over 3,000 fully certified practitioners.

What is Chairwork?

Chairwork Psychotherapy is a profoundly powerful and beautiful way of working through suffering and pain caused by internal conflict, difficult memories, and challenging relationships.

"Chairwork Psychotherapy is based on the belief that it is healing and transformative for a patient to give voice to their different parts, modes, or voices and for them to re-enact scenes from the past, present, or future."

How It Works

It requires us to speak directly to our problems and not just vent about them. We speak to people in our life instead of complaining about our difficulties with them. We relive and integrate our difficult memories instead of just talking about them. Speak to our hearts directly instead of wrestling with them. It is engaging, energetic, and challenging.

Results

Shifts and resolution can happen very quickly and, in some cases, just one session.

Is This Right For You?

If you've tried traditional talk therapy and felt like you were going in circles, Chairwork might be the breakthrough you need.
