Amanda Timonere

I work with women who are navigating one of the most significant transitions of their lives becoming a mother. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or somewhere in the longer journey of matrescence, I offer a space where you can come exactly as you are and do the kind of work that actually changes things.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in the belief that what you are feeling is not a flaw it is information. I specialize in perinatal mental health, identity transitions, nervous system regulation, and intergenerational pattern healing. Much of the work we do together focuses on understanding the patterns you inherited, how they show up in your parenting and relationships, and what it looks like to begin rewriting them.

I draw from EMDR, somatic approaches, and narrative therapy, weaving clinical rigor with warmth and honesty. I do not believe in performing wellness. I believe in doing real work in a real relationship and I bring my whole self to that.

Before building my private practice, I served as Chief Clinical Officer of a multi-state behavioral health organization, where I designed treatment programs, supervised clinical teams, and built systems of care for thousands of people. I bring that depth of clinical experience alongside my own lived experience as a mother into every session.

If you are tired of white-knuckling it and ready for something that actually holds you, I would love to connect.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and built around the belief that healing happens in the context of a real, honest therapeutic relationship. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Every woman I work with brings her own history, her own nervous system, and her own version of what becoming a mother has cracked open and I meet her there.

I draw from EMDR, somatic and body-based approaches, and narrative therapy to help clients process what they are carrying, regulate their nervous system, and begin to understand the patterns that have shaped them. A significant part of my work focuses on intergenerational healing identifying what was handed down and consciously choosing what gets passed forward.

I work primarily with women in the perinatal period and those navigating the identity transformation of matrescence. My sessions are warm, direct, and grounded. I ask honest questions, I hold space for complexity, and I believe that the work we do now has the potential to change not just your life but the lives of the children you are raising.

Your first session is not about having the right answers or knowing exactly what you need. It is about showing up and letting me get to know you.

We will talk about what brought you here, what life looks like right now, and what you are hoping to find in this work. I will ask questions not to assess or diagnose, but to understand you as a whole person. Your history, your relationships, what motherhood has stirred up, and what you are carrying that you may not have said out loud yet.

I want you to leave the first session feeling heard not evaluated. You will get a sense of who I am, how I work, and whether this feels like the right fit. That matters to me. The therapeutic relationship is everything, and I never want you to feel like you are just filling a slot in someone's schedule.

Come as you are. You do not need to have it together. The fact that you made the appointment is already the hardest part.
