Getting to know Amanda Doty

Hi there, I'm Amanda! Located in Sacramento, California, I provide both in-person individual and group sessions and telehealth throughout California. My work is person-centered, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and respect for everyone’s unique story. My focus I offer individual psychotherapy for adults seeking deeper understanding, healing from trauma, anxiety, and more ease in their relationships with others, themselves, their bodies, and food. As an affirming therapist, I welcome diverse identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences. I believe therapy works best when it feels authentic. My approach I believe healing happens not only through insight, but through felt experience — learning how safety, connection, and regulation can live in the body again. I specialize working with adults and queer individuals navigating trauma and eating disorders. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. My communication style My work is person-centered, trauma-informed, relational, and rooted in nervous system awareness. I use a variety of treatment modalities including somatic therapy, parts work (IFS), and attachment-based approaches to help you gently process your experiences at a pace that works best for you. I recognize that each person has their own unique story. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a provider has been shaped by more that 13 years of professional experience supporting people through difficult moments in their lives. Working in community mental health, domestic violence shelters, eating disorder clinics, and hospital settings has confirmed to me how much it matters for people to have warm, affirming care. My goals for you I work collaboratively with you to set the treatment goals that matter to you- whether that is reducing your stress, having a better relationship with food or your body, or learning how to better tolerate distress.
