Amanda Tran
(She/Her/Hers) RP (Qualifying)

Amanda understands that therapy can be a deeply personal and transformative journey. Her approach to therapy is warm, holistic, and trauma-informed, blending mindfulness, somatic healing, attachment-based strategies and intuition. She works alongside each client to build coping skills, process emotions, strengthen relationships, and set meaningful goals—helping them feel more grounded and authentic.

Amanda believes that when we tune into our inner wisdom—mind, body, and spirit—we can navigate challenges with greater ease and confidence. She provides a safe, supportive space for individuals facing various complexities, including fertility treatments, pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum struggles, the emotional shifts of parenting and one’s own inner child healing.

Her passion for maternal mental health is rooted in her own experience with motherhood. Growing up in a multicultural family as a second-generation Canadian with Vietnamese refugee parents, Amanda understands the complexity of balancing different identities and expectations. This perspective shapes her inclusive, non-judgmental approach to therapy, where every client’s story is honoured and valued.

With training in mindfulness, somatic regulation strategies, trauma-focused therapy, and emotion-focused therapy, Amanda helps individuals break free from self-doubt, overwhelm, and exhaustion. Whether you’re navigating excessive thoughts, adjusting to life’s transitions, or working through past experiences that surface in parenthood, she’s here to guide you with compassion and care.

Before becoming a therapist, Amanda spent two decades working in corporate, government, nonprofit, education, and wellness settings, bringing a wealth of real-world experience to her practice. Outside of work, she finds joy in family time, yoga, and nature—embracing the little moments of rest and play that bring balance to life
