Hi, I’m Amanda, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Mellow Therapy. My approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and a healthy dose of humor. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, compassionate, and real. It’s work I care about deeply and feel grateful to do every day.
