I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Virginia. I have been working in university counseling center settings for the last 6 years, and I have experience working in private practice and in a weight loss company as a behavioral counselor.
My main areas of expertise and interest include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, phase of life concerns, disordered eating, weight loss, body image concerns, low self-esteem, and grief and loss.
My therapy style is a mixture of client-centered and Cognitive Behavioral, a combination that creates a warm, friendly, and safe environment for people to share with me, alongside immediate action and the ability to see fairly quick progress.
I'm really looking forward to working with you and helping you through whatever concerns you might have.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Amanda McKinney. 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.
Amanda is an amazing conversationalist and supporting resource. She's empathetic and does a great job of herding me toward the realizations that I can't find by myself.
