About Me
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time in learning more about me! My name is Amanda and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the State of Ohio. I graduated from Walsh University with a Masters degree in Counseling and Human Development with a Mental Health Specialty. I have 17 years experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings such as outpatient, crisis intervention, school, and private practice. I have experience working with a broad range of clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, family issues, divorce, blended family issues, trauma, grief, self-esteem, parenting issues, and behavioral issues.
I primarily use evidence based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe therapy takes time and consistency. It is my role to help you navigate through your issues, and to help you develop the appropriate tools to manage/cope with these specific issues. Together we can work on establishing your goals. There may be times where I will assign therapeutic homework assignments to encourage work outside of our sessions. I look forward in helping you in any way I can. Thank you again for taking the time to learn more about me!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda (Mandy) Derheimer. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mandy has been an excellent counselor and helping me reach my goals and everything.
She’s very helpful!
Amazing theripst! I've worked with her twice now with a few years ago between. Better help is blessed to have her!! Quick to respond
Meeting with Mandy on a weekly basis has made my life markedly better. I'm so happy to have the help of someone that I trust so much!
She’s an amazing support! I’m so grateful to have her!
I have really gained a lot of insight and skills working with Mandy. She provides excellent reflective listening and is validating, while also encouraging me to consider alternatives I may not have initially noticed. She is respectful, comforting, and genuine.
I Enjoy speaking with mandy
I have had a great experience so far with Mandy. She is a great listener and helps me refocus on the important things!
Amanda is extremely professional. She notices what I say, even when I don't. My life has improved since speaking to her. There has been so much that she was able to recover, that I didn't realize was still bothering me.
Amanda is exactly what I needed in this time in my life I appreciate her guidance and support more than she Will ever know.
Mandy has been such a huge help these past few months in dealing with all areas of concern. She gives me a safe space to talk out my feelings and help better understand them. She has an abundance of tools that allow me to better cope and handle situations, and I feel I’ve seen growth already in the short time working with her. Incredibly thankful to have her.
Many is a huge blessing. From our first meeting, she helped me take a step back from the story of hopelessness I was telling myself and see a new perspective based in truth rather than fear. I'm so grateful for BetterHelp and Mandy. I've got a much more optimistic outlook now, knowing this is going to be a huge positive piece in my mental health journey.
Amanda is great! I always look forward to our sessions. She has been a great resource for me and she is very kind!
Mandy made me feel like I was venting to a friend! Kind and empathetic while offering suggestions or advice.
Love Mandy! She has been sooo helpful to me.
I have had 3 sessions with Amanda and feel very comfortable with her. She listens carefully to my concerns and is thoughtful in her responses, always offering appropriate suggestions or asking questions to allow for further exploration. She sends worksheets which are very informative and help me understand the issues I am processing. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family.
Amanda is amazing. She listens to you fully and truly takes in what you are saying. She comes up with different ways to approach specific topics. She has been a huge help with my mental health.
Amanda is great! She is very kind and understanding. She has great suggestions and has already helped me a lot.
Absolutely amazing, she’s digs deep when I need it and knows when we need to change subject or cover something else pertaining to what’s going on in the session. High recommend her
Mandy is an expert at what she does, and she takes the time to listen carefully to her clients, and respond appropriately. She also reviews every assignment that she gives clients, and makes careful notes to discuss in session, which is so reassuring and helpful! I love working with her, and would recommend her services to anyone in need.
Amanda is a kind and warm listener. She’s able to see things from an outside perspective and bring different situations and perspectives to light. I would recommend her to anyone.
Mandy is very kind and listens to whatever I want to talk about and gives me great advise.
Amanda has been incredibly helpful to me during this unprecedented time. We relate with several things that I've brought up in my session which always makes me feel like I'm not alone. It's been a nice outlet having someone to chat to that can offer advice and support. She listens and offers a variety of solutions to try out. She sends optional tools to help filter through and manage the feelings I've been having! I highly recommend Amanda!
Amanda is great! She actively listens, gets clarification instead of assuming things, and breaks down a lot of ‘psych terms’ when needed. She knows her stuff but is kind and patient about it.
