TRAUMA AND RECOVERY THERAPY
A space for your whole self
Threshold Counseling offers a welcoming space for those navigating trauma and recovery, and seeking a more authentic connection with themselves and others. In this space, you are invited to step across your inner threshold into deeper self-awareness and new ways of being.
IS THRESHOLD COUNSELING RIGHT FOR YOU?
Threshold Counseling might be the right fit if you feel…
Stuck in old patterns of thought or behaviors that are holding you back
Anxiety, stress, or self-criticism getting in the way of the life you want to live
Prepared to address the negative impact of trauma or adverse experiences, and want to move toward healing
A longing to increase self-concept, identity, or belonging and feel more whole
A desire to strengthen your relationships, boundaries, and sense of self

You don’t have to cross the threshold alone.
I work with adult individuals in Tucson, offering a collaborative and experiential approach that is guided by your unique story, values, and worldview.
ABOUT AMANDA
Amanda Gormley, MA, LAC, NCC, EMDR Therapist
Rooted in Tucson, drawn to the desert
I love hiking, stargazing, and finding inspiration in the resilience and beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
After 20 years of professional experience in the nonprofit field, I brought that foundation into a new chapter — earning my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. Since 2024, I have worked in an intensive outpatient setting providing individual, group, and family therapy, specializing in trauma and addiction recovery. These experiences shape how I think about counseling; as an integrative, depth-oriented process that draws on many perspectives — including the transformative power of awe and meaning — to support you in the complexity of who you are.
MY APPROACH
Therapy as an experience,
not just a conversation
Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to what serves you best — whether through dialogue, mindfulness, imagery, EMDR, or body-based awareness. This includes working with practices of awe, spiritual meaning, and values-based reflection, tailored entirely to your worldview. Together, we find the path that resonates most with you.
-
You are the expert on your own life. Person-Centered therapy means I follow your lead — your pace, priorities, and goals. I hold space for the full complexity of your identity, including your faith, family background, cultural roots, and lived experience, recognizing that healing looks different for everyone.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process painful memories that feel stuck. Using bilateral stimulation — often guided eye movements — we gently work through experiences that continue to affect how you feel and function today.
-
Narrative Therapy invites you to examine the stories you've been told — or have told yourself — about who you are. Together, we explore where those stories came from and whether they still serve you, opening space for a more truthful and self-compassionate version of your life.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing difficult emotions, navigating relationships, and expanding your capacity for change.
-
Gestalt therapy brings awareness to the present moment — including what the body is holding — helping you connect thought, feeling, and sensation in ways that create real and lasting change.
There is a part of you that is ready to go deeper — to step across the threshold into a fuller understanding of yourself. I am honored to witness that journey.
