Getting to know Amanda Dodson

When life becomes painful, it's natural to fall into cycles of avoidance and suffering. My work is about helping you accept what's beyond your control, gently face what's causing you pain, and discover what makes life feel meaningful again.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have a particular passion for working with neurodivergent adults and people with eating disorders, but also work with a variety of issues from anxiety, chronic pain/illness, trauma, and women's issues like postpartum depression and anxiety. If you feel like you can't get your life together, no matter how hard you try, I'd genuinely love to work with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is gentle but directive, warm and humorous, and above all, non-judgmental. I am a therapist, artist, educator, and published writer. I have experience working in child welfare, schools, in-home therapy, private practice, intensive outpatient, and residential.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 60 minutes
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

I am an in-network provider with Aetna, Cigna, UHC/Optum and TriWest. For clients using out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill to support reimbursement. I’m also happy to work with you to help keep therapy as affordable as possible.
