About Amanda Reichert, MS, LAPC, NCC, RYT-500

I believe that people are more than the symptoms that bring them to therapy.

Many of the patterns we struggle with - anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, disconnection, or difficulty in relationships are not signs that something is wrong with us. More often, they are adaptations that developed in response to our experiences and helped us navigate difficult moments in life.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing is not about fixing who you are. It is about understanding how adversity has shaped you with curiosity and compassion, while creating opportunities to connect with yourself in new ways. As our understanding grows, so does our capacity to respond with greater choice, flexibility, and self-compassion.

This perspective has guided my professional journey for more than twenty-five years. What began as a personal yoga practice during a challenging season of life evolved into a lifelong interest in the relationship between the mind and body. Over time, I realized that what interested me most was not simply helping people reduce anxiety or manage symptoms. I became increasingly interested in understanding how adversity shapes our relationship with ourselves, and how healing begins when we have the opportunity to restore that connection.

Today, I work with adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is relational, integrating psychotherapy with mindfulness, nervous system awareness, and body-based practices to support meaningful, lasting change, not by becoming someone different, but by developing a deeper understanding of yourself.

A Note on Services & Collaboration
I provide outpatient psychotherapy and integrate somatic (body-based) approaches into the work when appropriate. If a higher level of care is needed, I will make appropriate referrals to ensure clients receive the support they need. With client consent, I welcome collaboration with psychiatrists and other providers to support continuity of care.
