S4.6 | Amanda Kranich | Supporting Students Mental Health

In this episode of the podcast, Reina interviews Amanda Kranich, MS, a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern and former educator with 13 years in the classroom, specializes in helping individuals break free from inherited trauma, manage overwhelming anxiety and ADHD, and rebuild a deep sense of self-worth. In this interview, Amanda draws on her unique dual background in education and mental health to help students, parents, and families move through the back-to-school season with clarity and confidence. She discusses her compassionate approach to therapy, emphasizing that everyone deserves to experience life as something that feels manageable and full of possibility.

Amanda takes a holistic approach to healing, weaving together a variety of evidence-based modalities to meet each client exactly where they are. From EMDR - which helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and generational conflict - to solution-focused strategies, expressive arts, and executive dysfunction support, she builds a personalized toolkit for every individual she works with. This integrated approach proves especially powerful during the back-to-school season, when students and caregivers face a surge of emotional, academic, and logistical demands all at once. Listeners walk away with actionable insights on managing back-to-school stress, building self-worth, and stepping into the new season with a full set of tools and a renewed sense of possibility.
