Getting to know Amanda Deboy
Becoming a parent is supposed to be one of life's most joyful chapters – but for many, it's also one of the most disorienting. The fear no one warned you about. The grief that doesn't make sense alongside the joy. The sense that you should be handling this better than you are. If that's where you find yourself, you deserve support from someone who understands this season of life.
Before she was a therapist, Amanda Casey was a full-spectrum doula, sitting with families through pregnancy, birth, loss, and the fragile early weeks of new parenthood. That experience is the reason she became a therapist: "The gap in resources for new parents during such a vulnerable time inspired me to become a therapist, so I could offer a safe, affirming space for individuals to process, heal, and grow."
Today, as an LPC and certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C), Amanda combines clinical training in perinatal and maternal mental health with the lived insight of someone who has walked alongside families through exactly these moments.
Amanda provides individual therapy for young adults and adults at the Naperville and Lemont offices, supporting clients through life transitions, trauma, stress, grief and loss, mood disorders, and self-esteem challenges. She's also a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (CADC) and Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), with experience in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches.
Her approach is trauma-informed and client-centered — you set the pace. Together, you'll find the tools and perspective to heal, whether you're adjusting to new parenthood, starting a new chapter, or rebuilding after loss.
With Amanda, you get a clinician who has sat in the room with families at their most vulnerable, and knows what it takes to help them feel seen.
Outside the therapy room, Amanda enjoys painting, yoga, gardening, and learning guitar, and shares her home with two dogs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bring a rare combination to our work together: clinical training as a Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C), layered with the firsthand insight I gained as a full-spectrum doula, sitting with families through pregnancy, birth, loss, and the early, fragile weeks of new parenthood. That experience is actually why I became a therapist in the first place — I saw how little support exists for parents navigating this transition, and I wanted to offer a safe, affirming space for people to process, heal, and grow.
I help clients navigate the complicated mix of joy, fear, grief, and transformation that often comes with the perinatal and postpartum periods, and I offer individual therapy for young adults and adults, supporting people through life transitions, trauma, stress, grief and loss, mood disorders, and self-esteem challenges. I'm also a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (CADC) and Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), and my background in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs has sharpened my use of CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches.
My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, which means you set the pace. Together, we'll discover the tools, the language, and the perspective that actually help you heal — whether you're adjusting to new parenthood, starting a new chapter, or rebuilding after loss. You won't just get a clinician who's studied perinatal mental health; you'll get someone who has sat in the room with families at their most vulnerable and knows what it takes to help you feel seen.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process starts with getting to know you — your story, what brought you in, and what you're hoping to work through. Because my approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, you set the pace. I'm not going to push you toward a predetermined timeline or agenda; instead, we collaborate to figure out what you actually need, and we build from there together.
In sessions, I draw on CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, which I sharpened during my time working in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. Depending on what you're navigating — whether that's a life transition, trauma, grief and loss, a mood disorder, or the overwhelm that can come with new parenthood — we'll use the tools and language that make sense for you specifically. There's no one-size-fits-all script; a session might involve talking through what's been coming up for you that week, processing something difficult from your past, or practicing grounding and coping strategies you can carry into daily life.
Because of my background as a full-spectrum doula, I bring a particular depth to work with clients in the perinatal and postpartum period — I understand not just clinically but firsthand how disorienting that season can be, and I create space to hold the joy, fear, grief, and transformation that often show up together. Wherever you're starting from, my goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, and for our work together to feel grounded, real, and genuinely collaborative.
