Hi there!
I’m Dr. Amanda Nicholson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in sex therapy.

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!
