Getting to know Amanda Rutherford

Hi there, I'm Amanda! My name is Amanda Rutherford, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of New Hampshire. I have been in the behavioral health field for over 20 years. I believe that establishing a trusting and mutually respectful relationship with the people I work with is essential to being effective. Over the years, I have worked with people of all ages and clinical presentations. My approach I generally utilize the cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach while also drawing from solution-focused and strengths-based perspectives. I approach each person as the expert of their own experience and believe therapy should be tailored to each individual's unique needs. I am confident that recovery is possible and that each person's path to recovery may look different. My focus I am passionate about helping people struggling with substance misuse and those with neurodivergent presentations. I am comfortable working with a wide range of clinical presentations, including mood disorders, psychosis, gender dysphoria, and OCD. My communication style I am direct and honest while remaining compassionate and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment. My journey to mental healthcare I have always wanted to help people become their best selves. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative process. I work with individuals to establish goals that reflect what they want to accomplish in treatment. My first session with you During the first session, we gather historical information and discuss your presenting concerns to establish treatment goals. This session also allows us to complete much of the necessary paperwork and begin building rapport.
