Welcome to Root Awakenings
Accessible and personalized mental healthcare in-person or from the comfort of your home.
The Root Awakenings Approach
Sometimes life happens and shakes us to our core. "Rude awakenings" as some may call it. These experiences shift the way
we see our world, and these shifts can lead to depression, anxiety and various mental health conditions. Root
Awakenings provides mental health services to those struggling when life seems to be too much. Our mission is to provide
psychotherapy services to individuals in need of a stronger foundation to improve their mental well being and overall quality of
life. Through comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment planning, Root Awakenings supports people in
exploring the many parts of their minds with the goal to generate new solutions to the problems within their internal working
systems within a safe and non judgmental space.

All your appointments will take place in a soothing office environment with fully private room, complimentary tea and water, and individualized care.

Amanda Manzer MA, LPC, NCC
I have always held the belief that people need people to both survive and thrive. Combined with my natural curiosity of the human experience, I have found myself here, hoping to be of some service to those who seek it. With a total of fourteen years of professional practice working with various patient populations including children ages 4-17, adults ages 18-70, families, and couples I continue to learn something new every day. I believe in building strong trusting relationships with my patients in order to foster a clear path to change.
I am an Independently Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I hold a Certification with the National Board for Certified Counselors. I have a strong background in trauma informed care, as well as child therapy. I take a systems approach with all of my clients to help them make sustainable changes.
Life can be tough! Our experiences can lead us to places where we may need some navigational support. I promise to do my best to meet you where you need to be met, in order to go where you need to go. I invite you to entrust me with your destination.
“I just wanted to thank you and let you know I appreciate all of the progress we made at the beginning of this year. Our conversations have stuck with me and continue to guide me as I grow this year.”
