Amanda never showed up to my intake appointment, and never contacted me afterwards. I reached out via online message and phone call, but did not received a response.

She’s wonderful! Quick response time when booking a session.
Amanda is such an insightful person. She is very professional, and her warm and friendly demeanor make you feel like you’ve known her forever! She creates a welcoming and safe environment to share your feelings/issues. No matter how big or small they may be, in my opinion she’s the best person to talk to. She’s also great with my kids!

I’ve been looking for a new therapist for just under a year now and was struggling to find someone who I felt was the right match for me until I found Dr Thornton. I immediately felt comfortable with her and always feel seen/heard when leaving one of our sessions. But - she’s also honest with me and not blindly validating my feelings , she helps works through things with me rather than telling me what to do. She’s made herself available outside of our regular sessions if I’m ever in need of an emergency session, or just help on a topic that I feel I might need to talk through before I see her next. She’s bubbly, sweet and just an incredible therapist !

Not just a therapist but a friend who is willing to listen and understand you. Would recommend to everyone. She doesn’t just help you understand your goals and situations but helps you fight and solve them.
