Amanda Lai Wai Kuen, LCPC

Welcome, and thank you for being here!
 

I want to take a moment to acknowledge how brave you are for seeking therapy. If you are
reading this, I hope you feel encouraged by your decision to receive support and grow. It takes a great deal of courage to share your story and experiences with someone new.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a BSc (Hons) in Psychological
Studies from Singapore and an MA in Mental Health Counseling from Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School (TEDS) in Deerfield, Illinois. I was also certified as an Illinois Domestic
Violence Professional (ICDVP).
 

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for children, teens, and adults. As a parent, I am passionate about helping couples and families strengthen connection, communication, and conflict-resolution skills. At the same time, I deeply resonate with the challenges children and adolescents face, which has fueled my dedication to supporting and counseling young people.
 

A typical session with me involves processing past hurts and unhelpful messages you have
carried, then reshaping them in ways that bring healing and lasting change. This will also include increasing self-awareness, exploring your personality, attachment, and coping style, and developing tools to help you thrive and be in alignment with your ideal self.
 

Together, we will work toward helping you see yourself with greater compassion — as someone who is resilient, capable, and continually growing despite life’s challenges. We will also focus on fostering balance between doing and being, whether that involves cultivating a healthier work-life rhythm, creating space for rest, or prioritizing meaningful self-care.
 

If you have any questions, please reach out for a phone consultation!
