Amanda George

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. Before joining Riverside Counseling, I spent over a decade as a school counselor with Loudoun County Public Schools, and that background deeply shaped my understanding of how mental health and daily life intersect — especially for youth navigating school, transitions, and performance challenges.

My Approach

Warm, Intentional Therapy Grounded in Real Life

I believe therapy should be warm, intentional, and grounded in real-life application. Everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard, not just analyzed. Drawing on my years as a school counselor in Loudoun County, I understand the unique pressures facing children, teens, and families in the Ashburn, Leesburg, and Sterling area.

My goal is to help you tap into your own strengths while equipping you with tools that support lasting emotional wellness and resilience. Whether we're addressing anxiety, school and work challenges, or interpersonal stress, I'll help you find clarity and make progress one step at a time.

Compassionate, attentive, and engaging — someone who listens with warmth and helps clients feel understood and supported through both big emotions and everyday stressors.
I work best with clients who...
Are open to exploring their experiences with curiosity, want to build confidence and coping skills, and are willing to collaborate to make real changes that feel meaningful in their daily lives.
In sessions, you can expect...
A safe and encouraging environment where we address your goals in a way that feels practical and personalized — building emotional regulation skills and making progress one step at a time.
My philosophy
