Amanda Garner

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Hi, I'm Amanda. I am a white, queer, ND, chronically ill/disabled (hey spoonies!) therapist. Many of the folks I work with also identify with one or all of these experiences and are trying their best to just exist in a world that doesn't seem to want them to. I primarily work with adults who are navigating grief, trauma, and chronic illness. I provide a space to slow down, feel accepted, and make sense of how your lived experiences have shaped you. My practice is pro-Palestine, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-colonization, and LGBTQIA+ affirming, which is a reflection of my values in and out of the office. Abolish ICE.
