“Amanda is an exceptional therapist, colleague and person. We have collaborated on many cases and she is very knowledgeable and approaches her clients wholeheartedly and non-judgmentally. Her warm and compassionate nature is unmatched. If a loved one of mine had an eating disorder, I would without a doubt refer them to Amanda. ”

“Since starting clinical supervision with Amanda, I have noticed the numerous ways it has been impactful for both myself and my clients. Amanda has helped me grow my clinical skills in meaningful ways. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the treatment of eating disorders, but she has a natural ability to bring warmth and compassion to any conversation. Amanda always makes me feel heard and validated, while simultaneously challenging me to expand my own viewpoints. She has given me new ideas and interventions that I can use with my clients that have led to profound revelations and movement within the therapeutic relationship. I would recommend that any clinician working with the eating disorder population seek supervision from Amanda. ”

“Amanda is not only an exceptional human, but an extraordinary clinician. We had the good fortune of working together as Monte Nido expanded to the East Coast and served as original staff of Monte Nido at Laurel Hill, and have continued to work closely together as outpatient practitioners. I have known and worked with Amanda for over a half decade and can say without hesitation that she has been and remains one of my most trusted colleagues, a most valued professional resource, and a therapist to whom I would refer clients without a moment of hesitation. Amanda is a thoughtful, empathic and hugely talented therapist. She brings a unique blend of skillfulness, training and humanity to all that she does, and is able to connect with individuals and families in a remarkably touching and effective fashion. She is an expert in eating disorders, disordered eating and body image concerns. She provides this care in a highly compassionate weight neutral fashion. I am fortunate to know Amanda and to consider her both a dear friend and esteem colleague.”

“I was extremely hesitant to start therapy when I began my eating disorder recovery journey. Amanda’s warmth, honest feedback, love for her job, and desire to see you live your fullest life, shine throughout the entire therapy process. I can confidently say that I would not be the same human without Amanda’s constant support, and I am so grateful to her and who I’ve become. The therapy journey can be a long and hard one. It’s important to make sure you’ve got the right human on the ride with you, and Amanda, is the very best.”

“When I booked my first appointment with Amanda, my anxiety was at an all time high. I was hesitant and a bit reluctant to say the least. But within the first few minutes of meeting her, I felt an overwhelming sense of ease and security. That was over nine years ago. Through Amanda’s continued support, thoughtful guidance and immeasurable amount of patience, I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been. Amanda helped me to process my trauma which has led me to feeling stronger and far less anxious. If you ever find yourself feeling scared, unsure or anxious about finding a therapist, I urge you to book an appointment with Amanda. I can assure you that you will be in great hands.”

“I first began seeing Amanda during a difficult point in my life when I was heavily relying on my eating disorder as a coping mechanism. Throughout our years together, Amanda coached me through many ups and downs, and was an invaluable source of support, clarity and compassion. When I started therapy I couldn’t see a reality in which recovery was possible, but Amanda’s steady reassurance and belief in my ability to progress brought me to where I am today. I can’t say enough about how much I trust Amanda’s character and judgment and would highly recommend her to anyone who’s struggling and looking for guidance.”
— E.T.
“I have been working with Amanda on and off for seven years. The safe space she has created gives me the opportunity to work through past trauma without fear of judgement. We specifically focus on IFS work in our sessions and it has created so much growth within myself and my ability to communicate effectively with others. She has been flexible and understanding during challenging times. I am so thankful to have her!”
