Walking in this world as a woman is hard. As women of God we are called to take on many different roles. We are asked to be wives, moms, business owners, friends, children, and so much more. For many of us we struggle to balance all of these roles. Sometimes even finding ourselves losing our identity. Others of us feel blocked from experiencing these roles because of our own past traumas and grief. We want to do the best at what God calls us to do but find ourselves feeling lost in the unrealistic demands that the world has put on us. What we want more than anything is to be seen, know that we are not alone, and aren’t failing.
God Created us to be in Community with One Another.
If you are a women reading this page, I want you to know that you are not less than, weak, or failing because you need help. There is so much power and strength in stating that you cannot do it all. Galatians 6:2 says, “carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Community doesn’t just include your friends and family. Community can also include your pastor, doctor, teacher, and yes, even a therapist. God created us so that we carry each other during the hard, laugh with one another in the joy, and pray with one another when it feels like God is far away. If you were experiencing a problem physically you would go to your doctor. It is ok to say that you’ve been praying and seeking God, but are finding you need help with your healing.
Christian Counseling
Christian counseling isn’t like secular counseling. In Christian counseling the goal isn’t to simply heal the body. Christian counseling seeks to go deeper and help heal your spirit. With that, Christian counseling isn’t like going to church on Sunday. Your therapist isn’t going to have you sit in their office for 50 minutes while they preach to you on how to fix your problems. The Christian counseling conducted at Set A Part Counseling begins by understanding your pain points. Once those pain points are established the clinician then utilizes the bible and evidence based mental health approaches to help heal those wounds.
Amanda Rippee Can Help
There is no greater passion I have than to help women find themselves, heal from the traumas they have experienced, and discover the beautiful purpose they hold. It is because of this passion that in 2016 I started my masters in Marriage and Family therapy (MFT). I knew from a young age God created me to help people, but it wasn’t until I was in undergrad that I discovered how I would help others. It was then a few years after achieving my first master’s degree that I felt God call me to take the leap to open a practice focusing exclusively on Christian Counseling. With that push I knew that I wanted to be able to offer outstanding services to my clients. So, here I was again going back to school to get a master’s in ministry. Fast forward to today and I am beyond blessed to say that I get to wake up everyday and help women. In my therapy I take a forthright genuine approach. Seeking to meet my clients exactly where they are on their journey. All while utilizing evidence based mental health approaches and the biblical principles of the Bible. I am so excited for your healing and hope I can be the one to help you in that process.
Questions about Women’s Counseling
Amanda, if I am not suffering with trauma/crisis can I still see you?
Yes! While my bread and butter is trauma counseling, I LOVE working with women trying to find themselves or dealing with everyday women’s issues.
I’ve never been to counseling before, what should I expect?
First, I want to congratulate you on taking the big leap to ask for help! Second, I want you to take any TV or movie references of counseling and throw it out of your brain. Like anything in movies, there is a small percentage that is accurate.
In many ways, counseling can look however you want it to. I tell all of my clients this is your time so we will go in whatever direction you wish to go. However, so I can better understand where my client would like to focus, I do have them set therapeutic goals. You could set one goal you could set one hundred.
What if I have done counseling before?
If you have participated in counseling previously that is totally fine! We can either continue where you left off, look at the previous issues addressed again, or begin working on new goals.
Amanda, you don’t take insurance and I want to work with you, what do I do?
The thing I encourage you to do is see if your insurance company will take a superbill. If they do, then I have no problem supplying that for you. Superbills allow you to get reimbursed up to a certain amount for your sessions. The insurance carriers where this is an exception are: Anthem and Medicare. Unfortunately, I do not provide superbills for these providers.
