Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been working with women and children for the past decade in a myriad of settings. I truly believe this wide range of experience in areas such as preventive, clinical, schools, shelters, etc. has given me a holistic understanding of the various needs of my clients. I bring this knowledge, my own background and experiences, and my clinical experience into therapy in order to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that promotes healing - no matter what a person's need or trauma is.
