Getting to know Dr. Amanda Mead
Hi, I’m Amanda Mead, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist working with adults who have experienced tough childhoods. My goal is to help you stop feeling overwhelmed and depressed and encourage healing and transformation.
I’m no different from my clients. Like everyone, I’m human, shaped by both wonderful and difficult experiences that influence how I help.
I’ve struggled with not feeling heard and knowing what it’s like to feel both too much and not enough. I deeply understand how childhood challenges can affect adulthood. Perfectionism, caretaking tendencies, and putting others first are ongoing challenges I personally know well.
These experiences led me to become the Psychologist I am today.
I earned my PsyD and Master’s in Psychology from Antioch University and my Bachelor’s from the University of New Hampshire.
Being a Psychologist is an honor. I love helping people become healthier, more empowered, and watching them transform their lives. The most rewarding part is inspiring others to be all they can be.
I am committed to encouraging your healing and transformation.
I bring empathy, warmth, and understanding to sessions. I naturally:
- Uncover what’s under the surface
- Inspire hope for improvement
- Accept people as they are in their current circumstances
- Help clients heal their past and manage the present
People say I’m a good listener who can sit with clients at their worst and truly hear them.
Our sessions focus on you, providing space to be understood and heard. Feeling safe and comfortable, you’ll gain clarity and be truly seen.
It’s important to me to provide a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and create safety within sessions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, it's important for you to know that I am committed to your well-being and personal growth. Here are a few key aspects of my approach that you can expect:
Empathy and Understanding: I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I deeply value empathy and will strive to understand your unique experiences and perspective.
Collaborative Process: Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I believe in the power of working together. We will establish a strong therapeutic alliance, where your voice and goals are integral to the process. Your insights and feedback are highly valued and will guide our work.
Person-Centered Approach: I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. Recognizing that each person is unique, I draw from various therapeutic modalities and techniques to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and preferences.
Trauma-Informed Care: If you've experienced attachment trauma, relational trauma, or any other form of trauma, I provide a trauma-informed approach. I emphasize safety, trust, and empowerment throughout our work together.
Growth and Resilience: My focus extends beyond symptom reduction. I am passionate about supporting your personal growth, resilience, and self-empowerment. Together, we will explore your strengths and work towards developing strategies to navigate life's challenges.
Confidentiality: Your privacy is of utmost importance to me. I adhere to strict professional ethics and maintain the confidentiality of our therapeutic relationship.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative and transformative process. It takes time, effort, and dedication from both of us. By embarking on this journey together, we can explore the issues you're facing, uncover new perspectives, and foster positive change in your life.
If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and growth, I invite you to reach out to me.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our sessions, I focus on creating a warm and compassionate environment where you can openly express yourself. Together, we'll explore your unique journey and work towards understanding the root causes of your discomfort. I'll help you gain insights into your past experiences and how they shape your present reality.
My approach is centered around your individual needs and goals. We'll collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your concerns and empowers you to create the life you desire. Throughout the process, I'll guide you in building healthier relationships, managing anxiety, and navigating issues surrounding identity development.
Picture this: a session where you are met with empathy, respect, and non-judgment. You'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, fears, and desires in a space where you are truly heard. We'll work together to uncover the underlying patterns that may be holding you back, allowing you to make meaningful changes.
Are you ready to take the first step towards healing and personal growth? Reach out to me today and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

I understand that navigating insurance coverage and payment options can be overwhelming. At my practice, I want to make the financial aspect of therapy as seamless as possible for you. Although I operate on a self-pay basis and do not directly accept insurance, I genuinely care about your well-being and I am here to support you.
To assist you in seeking reimbursement, I am happy to provide you with a superbill—a detailed invoice that can be submitted to your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. I know that each insurance policy is unique, and I encourage you to reach out to your provider to verify your specific coverage and reimbursement options.
Rest assured, I am committed to helping you access the therapy you need. I am here to provide the necessary documentation and support you every step of the way.
