Amanda Burns
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and a Master in Social Work from St. Mary's University of Minnesota.
​
As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), I specialize in working with both children and adults, and I am flexible and tailor my methods to meet each client’s unique needs.
​
With four years of mental health treatment experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice. Offering individual therapy services, one of my primary focuses is working with those experiencing behavioral concerns or challenges.
​
Outside of work, I am a mom of two, and we love spending time outdoors. Whether it's camping, fishing, attending sporting events, or going on trips and adventures, we cherish these moments. We also enjoy spending time with family and friends, making the most of every opportunity to create lasting memories.
​
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey to well-being! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

I would highly recommend Mares Cares. My little one counsels with Amanda. She has been wonderful in the care and understanding of her needs and has developed a trust with communication that is always open when needed. The office is cozy with a home like feel and is very accommodating to kids."

I have two therapists there. One for EDMR. One for talking. I have PTSD from multiple traumas. With my two therapists working together (Alvin Mares and Amanda Burns) it has been really helpful. They have been there for my hardest times. Even during a recent traumatic event, they know what to do! EDMR has been an experience for processing things, but it has been really helpful in realizing things about myself. Alvin really is knowledgeable on the topics of trauma. Amanda helps guide me through things and gives me advice that is very insightful. She helps give me relief about learning about my severe panic attacks and guided me to a bunch of self-care resources! I am so glad to be in this place. I highly recommend it!"
