Amanda Kieser
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
Amanda has experience treating people coping with depression, anxiety, disordered eating or eating disorders, body image concerns, and attachment wounds.
Sending you the best on your therapy journey! I work with adult women, non-binary people, and gender expansive individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and the impacts of previous trauma. I have specialized experience treating clients with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image concerns as well. I particularly love client work that engages in identity exploration, reflecting on and healing attachment styles, and reparenting. My therapeutic approach is one of whole-person care. I believe that each of us has had unique experiences and journeys to get us to where we are today, and that everyone deserves care and therapy tailored to their specific needs and wants. My therapeutic approach draws upon ideas from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, & Narrative Therapy. In my work with folks who are struggling with disordered eating/eating disorders or body image concerns, I also include ideas of Health At Every Size, body respect and neutrality, and All Foods Fit model.
