Amanda Richardson,

Hi, I’m Amanda Richardson (she/her), an Intern Therapist passionate about helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.

Who I Counsel

I specialize in working with children (6+) and adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, developmental disabilities, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress.

I also offer counseling for other mental health challenges such as ADHD, attachment issues, chronic illness/pain, trauma & PTSD, health & wellness goals, grief, religious deconstruction, and more. Let scheduling know what you are experiencing, and they will review my full list of specialties to determine whether we are a good match for therapy.

Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can build confidence, learn new skills, and connect more deeply with your authentic self.

Education and Background

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Millersville University and am currently pursuing my Master of Clinical Social Work at Florida State University. After graduation, I plan to complete certification in Expressive Arts Therapy to further integrate creativity into the healing process. My professional experience includes working with children, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and those transitioning back into the community after incarceration.

Techniques in Therapy

My person-centered approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, Motivational Interviewing, Systems Theory, and Strengths-Based practices.

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and genuine. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and find both therapeutic and practical ways to support your growth and well-being.

About Me

In my free time, you will find me volunteering at our local community theatre, thrifting with my daughter, watching true crime documentaries with my husband, or snuggling with my two dogs!
