About Amanda Gordon
Amanda Gordon is a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping children, teens, and families feel understood, supported, and empowered. With a strong background in child and adolescent psychology, education, and applied behavioral analysis, Amanda brings a warm, collaborative approach to therapy and creates a safe space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.
Amanda has years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in school and community-based settings. She supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, school-related challenges, family conflict, and life’s many transitions. Her goal is to help each client better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and feel confident creating meaningful change.
Amanda believes that we all have a story—and that difficult chapters do not have to define the whole story. She works alongside her clients to reframe the stories they may have come to believe about themselves, helping them recognize that they have the ability to influence what comes next. Through therapy, Amanda empowers clients to become active participants and authors of their own growth and change.
Amanda earned her Bachelor of Arts in Social Science with a concentration in Psychology from Dominican University of Blauvelt and her Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Child and Adolescent Psychology from National University. She was inducted into the Delta Kappa International Marriage and Family Therapy Honor Society and is also a member of the Omega Nu Lambda National Honor Society. A former collegiate athlete who attended undergraduate school on a full basketball scholarship, Amanda understands the importance of perseverance, teamwork, resilience, and learning from life’s challenges..
“I look forward to hearing YOUR story and working together to add new chapters, rewrite the tough parts, and refine the plot so you can step into the most empowered version of yourself.”
