Welcome to Good Omen Counseling LLC!
My name is Amanda Peritore, and I am a licensed clinical social worker located in Upstate South Carolina. I specialize in veterinary social work, a unique field that allows me to work in the sacred space where humans and animals meet; particularly during pet loss and bereavement. I wholeheartedly understand that losing a pet can be just as painful, if not more so, than losing a close person in your life. I focus on honoring grief and shame, creating a safe and supportive environment for healing.
I work with individuals and organizations to help define and achieve personal and professional goals. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, and I frequently use therapies such as TF-CBT, ACT, DBT, and ART to issues surrounding trauma, self-worth, self-compassion, stress, and anxiety, and interpersonal relationships.
I am especially dedicated to supporting frontline workers, veterinary professionals, and those in high vicarious trauma fields. My goal is to help these professionals develop the skills necessary to prioritize their own well-being and leverage those skills to build a better system for all.
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish
the light of a single candle.”
