About me

Hi there!

I'm Dr. Amanda Nicholson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in Sex Therapy. I hold a Master’s in Family Therapy and a Doctorate in Human Sexuality Studies, with a clinical concentration in sex therapy. Over the past seven years, I’ve supported individuals and couples through challenges related to intimacy, sexual trauma, communication, and self-worth.

I specialize in helping Black women of faith reclaim their sexual self-esteem and navigate the intersection of spirituality, identity, and pleasure with confidence and compassion.

I also work with couples to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen emotional intimacy—whether you're repairing or deepening your connection.

Therapy is a journey with peaks and valleys, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as your guide.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Amanda Nicholson. 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.

Dr. Nicholson has been so relatable. She listens to both our perspectives and is non biased. She brings a wealth of knowledge and encourages us to be more open minded. We highly recommend her for couples counseling!
