Dr. Amanda Parker, PsyD

I am glad you are here looking for support. I provide personalized care to address my clients unique needs. I strive to be a compassionate and skilled therapist who brings experience and expertise to my work. I am dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by a wide variety of mental health struggles.

I take a holistic approach to mental health care, listen without judgment, and will work with you to get the most out of life, no matter your circumstances. My approach to therapy uses an integrated theoretical orientation incorporating various research supported therapies as I strive to help my clients integrate all aspects of well-being within themselves.

I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced acute, chronic, and complex trauma.  I work with individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence, childhood trauma, combat trauma, sexual trauma, and post traumatic stress disorder. I also have experience and am passionate about working with individuals with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, OCD, substance use disorders, religious/spirituality concerns, relationship challenges, and health issues. I have experience providing therapy at the Veteran Affairs Administration, the Nia Project, and Walden Behavioral Healthcare (Dunwoody Center for Eating Disorders), and at Kennesaw State University.

In addition to my clinical work, I am committed to advancing the field of psychology through research. My research interests include inter-generational trauma, exploring the intersection of trauma and physical health, and assessing the barriers to addressing adverse childhood events.

I am here to answer any questions or concerns you have. I know you might be feeling stuck or unsure at this moment. Hope is being able to see the light when you feel like you are surrounded by darkness. Know that we will work together to help you feel better and live your best life. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.
