Welcome to Mighty Minds Mending
Counselling for children, youth, and families
LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
About us
Mighty Minds Mending is built on the idea that all our minds, big or small, are mighty and resilient. Our minds can do so many amazing things to help us make our way in the world, and they often can and do mend themselves. Sometimes though, we need some help from someone with more education, experience, or just general know-how to facilitate that process. This is where Mighty Minds Mending comes in, to help you facilitate that process through a very person-centered, playful, and mindful approach, that is both evidence-based and feedback-informed.

Amanda Carbajal
Amanda (Morgan) Carbajal is a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. They have been working with children and youth for over 10 years, initially as a day camp and after school program leader, and then as a counsellor with various non-profit agencies after obtaining their Master’s of Counselling in Psychology through Athabasca University in 2022. Amanda is a very playful and creative person, and often incorporates play and more experiential learning activities into therapy, including with adult clients and parents. They also appreciate that caregivers are an important part of young people’s lives, and strongly encourage primary caregivers to meet with them to discuss practical and effective ways they can support their children and youth, while also respecting the existing demands that caregivers already have in their lives.
