Amanda Altu
Hello! I'm Amanda, a licensed mental health counselor and behavior therapist serving Florida and Colorado via telehealth. In 2025, I founded Undivided Heart Mental Health, a practice centered around evidence-based and client-centered care that supports both teens and adults individually as they practice effective behavior change and mindfulness along with providing parent coaching for families with children currently managing mental health challenges.
First session
My vision is to empower each client to pursue a meaningful life aligned with their values and goals. Our first session will prioritize rapport building and collaboration as we build your treatment plan together.
Strengths
I believe my biggest strength as a clinician includes my creativity and energy. I know that therapy is not a one size fits all place- every client is unique and has a different need therefore, I am committed to creating an environment where each client is empowered to assert their needs and collaborate. Getting to know each of my clients is a unique experience and presenting interventions to them in a way that would be helpful is where my creativity comes in.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is motivated for change and looking for a space where they can explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors in an open and safe way. I always tell clients that therapy is hard work-it's not play time- although my hope is that we will build a wonderful therapeutic rapport it is also my expectation that clients are open to doing the hard work necessary in therapy.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT is used in session to explore personal values, important life domains and the life that you would like to build for yourself.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to examine the little dance our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors do while also evaluating what behaviors are either helpful or unhelpful in life currently. This insight provides the roadmap into the treatment plan and into what active coping skills we will practice in session.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is used to practice flexibility and openness while prioritizing mindfulness. This insight is most helpful when practiced alongside CBT and ACT.
