Amanda Nelson-Geruntho

I started my career working in mental health counseling in various roles for 7 years. I have always loved learning so after that I jumped into academic advising first at the University of Pittsburgh for 3 years, now at Spokane Falls Community College for the past 5 years. I'm currently an adjunct counselor at SFCC and have my own private practice via telehealth. I've worked with students studying all sorts of majors and with diverse identities: first-generation, non-traditional, racial and ethnic minorities, international, LGBTQ+, and traditional.

I am a National Certified Counselor and specialize in treating anxiety disorders using CBT, DBT, MI, and mindfulness-based techniques. I am a member of Postpartum Support International and working towards certification in perinatal mental health. I'm also an adjunct counselor at Spokane Falls Community College.

I'm a part-time counselor and full-time mama. When I'm not chasing my 2 young kiddos around I'm usually gardening, walking, knitting, or reading (comics, graphic memoirs, fantasy, sci-fi!). I have lived experience as a NICU parent and preeclampsia survivor (x2). I identify as a Highly Sensitive Person and an introvert so if you're either of those, I get it!
