Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Certified Case Manager
Hi, I'm Amanda. I have 26 years of experience in Clinical Social Work and still love it!
I specialize in several areas: eating disorders, ranging from anorexia and binge-purge symptoms to clients considering bariatric surgery.
My goal is to draw on my personal experiences to help my clients overcome unhealthy relationships with food. I also work with clients who have experienced abuse (verbal, physical, and sexual), anxiety, and Depression. I work in mental health with adolescents and adults. I use client-centered, solution-focused therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Many of these areas overlap, and I would be happy to speak with you about your specific needs.
Eating Disorders, Bariatric Surgery, Sexual Abuse, Physical Abuse, Mental Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Anxiety, Depression, Criminal Behavior, Legal/Court Experience.
I am pretty sure you've googled me, but humor me and watch the little 15-sec Miss Tilly video in the link below when you have time!
