Yes, I am accepting new clients.

Hi, I’m Amanda Meffert, Licensed Professional Counselor, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. I believe that healing happens in a supportive space, and my goal is to provide you with the tools and insight needed to foster personal growth and emotional well-being.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, where I trained in cutting-edge techniques to better serve my clients and community. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at The University of Virginia, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology. My background also includes experience in medicine, holding an Associate of Science and national certification in Medical Assisting. Beyond the classroom, I’ve conducted research in Aboriginal medical studies in Australia and food studies in rural Southwest Virginia, broadening my perspective on holistic care.

As a culturally competent, integrative mental health counselor, I specialize in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) / Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), providing personalized therapy for children, adolescents, and adults tailored to their unique needs. 

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me embracing my creative side through opera, vocal performance, and crafting. I live in Northern Virginia with my family and three beloved fur babies. Helping others is my passion, and I look forward to working with you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone—let’s take the first step together. Schedule a session today!
