Hello and congratulations on your first step to feeling better! My name is Mandy, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker in the state of Michigan with 25 plus years of diverse experience. Nine of those years was spent as an active-duty military social worker with the United States Navy including 6 months in a combat zone.
I am experienced in working with military service members, their families, and veterans. I’ve also spent 15 plus years working in hospital settings, providing counseling around adjustment to illness, and supporting those who are undergoing very arduous situations.
Other areas of focus include the challenges that come along with aging as well as the benefits of, and impact of nutrition.
I am supportive, empathetic, and passionate about helping others. My therapy style embraces a combination of methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and a psychoanalytic therapy. However, some individuals may benefit from a more practical, coaching type approach where there is less emphasis on psychodynamic exploration and more emphasis on making concrete changes to lifestyle. No matter where you are in life, I look forward to working with you to help restore peace, joy, and quality of life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I am so fortunate to have a therapist like Amanda. She is just what I needed through all of my issues.
Amanda is AMAZING!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.
Mandy is great. Very considerate, responsive, and a great listener. She has helped me navigate a challenging time in life and has helped me become a better person in spite of it. Highly recommend!
Mandy was very helpful and gave me the tools to effectively cope with a stressful family situation. She provided me with tools to positively change my thinking into more optimistic and realistic perspectives.
I appreciate Amanda so much. She really understands who I am as a person and I feel like that makes such a difference in our sessions. I really appreciate her. I don’t know how I would get through this without her right now.
Amanda is so wonderful!! She has been so helpful and an amazing listener. I am so thankful I connected with Amanda!
Amanda really takes the time to listen. I definitely feel heard by her. I really look forward to my appointments.
Mandy is wonderful and very insightful.
Very nice and listens and gives advice that we talk about
She’s done very well with me and I look forward to our talks!
I am so grateful for Amanda. She has really been a anchor for me during this extremely stressful time in my life. I feel like she really understands and hears me. It is so nice to share everything that is going on with me and completely speak freely. I really trust her and appreciate her time.
Amanda Scott is a great therapist, and I have made tremendous progress with her—more than with any other therapist I’ve ever seen
I don't have a lot of experience with therapy but one thing I do appreciate is that she doesn't spend time telling me about her personal issues. Therapy is expensive and time is limited. I want to have time talking about my issues. She is very honest with me when she thinks it is something i need to hear.
I have tried online therapy before through a different company and it was all around a really bad experience. The therapist wasn’t all that great. So I started out with BetterHelp a little skeptical. But Amanda is great. She’s an amazing listener and has been able to really give some amazing feedback and really help me work through my stuff. She’s incredible. I’d recommend her to anyone I could.
Amanda is extremely attentive and always responds quickly. Her responses are also very in-depth. I wish I would have started working with her years ago.
She's awesome..
I was able to connect with Amanda (Mandy) right from the start. She was sensitive and compassionate to my situation. She provided helpful suggestions and valuable points for me to consider. I'm in a better place now, but will reconnect with Mandy in a heartbeat if needed.
Amazing. Enough said.
She truly takes the to listen and understands. So sweet, I would totally recommend!
Amanda is everything I have been looking for in a therapist. I stopped working with my previous therapist as I didn't feel we were a good match, so I was very nervous about how things would work out with Amanda. I couldn't be happier. She's extremely empathetic, and she listens and makes sure she really understands my issues. I feel heard, and I am impressed with how thorough she is. I highly recommend her.
