Winding down our Bundok | Mountain panel spotlights, we are very happy to introduce you to Amanda Bravo! 

​Amanda (She/Her/Hers) is Nuyorican graduate from Lesley University with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a specialization in Dance Movement Therapy. Her culturally responsive approach to the arts in healing heavily influences her work as a Family Clinician at Compass, Yo Soy LOLA's Artistic Director, and Artist & Community Partner at AuthenticallyBravo. When not serving in those capacities, Amanda enjoys dabbling in the arts and crafts, making those around her laugh, and playing with as many dogs as possible!

​ 
Bundok, a Tagalog word meaning, "Mountain," here represents the inherited trauma passed down thru the generations. Mounting pressure as time goes on, from society, family, and oneself.

Just as trauma can affect families for many generations, healing can ripple through and soothe those wounds. Whether it’s a child deciding to go to therapy, or a father admitting that they have caused pain, or is in fact the one who is in pain, it’s beautiful when a family is able to find a way to push forward together. ​
