*ACCEPTING CLIENTS beginning 8/26/2025 at our Memorial office

Hello, my name is Amanda Irons! I am a Clinical Intern here at Healing Pathways of Houston. Have you ever felt your emotions over run your mind at times or you don’t totally understand why you do the things you do? If so, your not alone. Sometimes we as humans need a little help to figure out what is going on. We can step back, take a breath, and look at the whole picture.

During our time together, I will meet you where you are, and provide a warm, comforting and judgement free environment. Together we will explore your challenges that keep you from being or becoming your most authentic self. As a Gestalt therapist, my goal is to help you gain more awareness, learn more about your emotions, how to gain more control over them and to become more empowered to live the life you want to live. When working with couples and families, my goal is to help bring each of you closer together by helping you to better understand each other, and by exploring each person’s thoughts and feelings in their own time. I aim to help you grow together and individually to have a stronger and healthier relationship. This process may get tough, but it can be very rewarding. Keep in mind, you have already done the hardest and strongest part, which is reaching out and asking for support.

For my undergraduate degree, I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. I am currently working towards my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling at Sam Houston State University.

In my free time, I enjoy going on walks, watching sports including the Astros, reading, visiting Major League Baseball parks, riding rollercoasters — I am a thrill seeker, exercising, spending time with my friends, family and my dogs.

Please feel free to schedule a FREE 15 minute consultation with me or for an appointment. I look forward to meeting you soon!
