Amanda Buduris is a trauma therapist in the Pacific Northwest. She owns a successful private practice and specializes in offering therapy intensives. Amanda serves individuals and couples who have complex trauma and need support navigating the healing process. She’s also a business coach who helps therapists add therapy intensives to their own practices.

Amanda has been a long-time coaching client of mine and has built a very successful therapy practice. She was initially charging $125/session for 1-1 clients. Now, she charges $350/hour for weekly clients, and $400-500 for intensives (which we’re digging more into here). She’s been able to achieve $15k months from therapy alone, working an average of 15 hours/week. Pretty freaking awesome!!
