About Amanda Omar
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 10 years of experience helping adults navigate complex mental health concerns, the effects of trauma, and the real-life barriers that can make healing feel out of reach. As an LCSW, she is a master’s-level social worker who is licensed to provide clinical therapy services, and her work is grounded in trauma-informed care that prioritizes understanding how past experiences shape present-day coping and relationships.
Her practice supports adults dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, substance use, and co-occurring challenges. She also brings extensive experience working with persistent mental illness, including psychotic disorders and mood disorders, and she is especially familiar with the added strain that can come from justice system involvement, high-conflict family systems, generational trauma, and long-term stress.
Amanda’s style is collaborative and structured, balancing candor with compassion. She draws from evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and motivational interviewing to help clients identify patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build a plan that fits their goals. She emphasizes practical change by pairing insight with action, while making room for honesty about the parts of life people often keep hidden.
Whether someone is in an acute crisis or simply worn down from living on autopilot, Amanda works alongside clients to support steadier functioning, stronger coping, and a life that feels more empowered and authentic.
