Amanda Worth, M.A.
Pre-Licensed Counselor providing individualized, compassionate support for teens and adults navigating eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, mood concerns, life transitions, relationships, and sport performance.
About Amanda
Therapy can be an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and better understand what matters most to you. My goal is to meet you where you are and create a warm, supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding your values and identifying what may be getting in the way of living in alignment with them. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, develop practical skills, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have become difficult to access.
My approach is compassionate, individualized, and grounded in the belief that each person has the ability to grow and make meaningful changes in their life.
Areas of Focus
I work with clients experiencing a range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges, including:
- Eating Disorders & Body Image Concerns
- Anxiety
- Life Transitions & Grief
- Parent Coaching and Support
- Sport Performance
- Attachment & Relational Concerns
- Personality-Related Concerns
- Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress
Eating Disorders and Body Image
I have a particular interest in supporting individuals experiencing eating disorders and body image concerns.
I also provide parent coaching and education for parents or other supports of individuals navigating eating-disorder recovery. This can help families better understand what their loved one is experiencing and learn ways to provide effective support throughout the recovery process.
Sport and Health Psychology
I earned my degree from Adler University in Counseling, specializing in Sport and Health Psychology.
My background allows me to work with clients who are navigating the psychological aspects of athletic performance, health, identity, goals, and personal development.
Whether someone is working toward improved athletic performance or navigating challenges related to health and well-being, I take an individualized approach focused with the person’s goals and values.
Therapeutic Approaches
I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Client-Centered Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT)
- Somatic Therapy
I have also completed training toward a Trauma-Informed Yoga certification, which complements my interest in supporting clients’ connection between mind and body.
Who I Work With
I work with:
A Compassionate, Individualized Approach

- Live more consistently with their values
- Develop more assertive communication
- Increase their ability to tolerate emotional distress
- Reconnect with themselves
