Amanda Gibbons, MSW, LCSW-C, PMH-C
I'm here to guide you through life's challenges, help you heal, and restore balance, so you can live with clarity, strength, and peace.
I’m a Maryland and Pennsylvania therapist who specializes in anxiety, grief, pregnancy complications, baby loss, postpartum care, trauma, and life transitions, offering compassionate, holistic support for healing and growth.
Having navigated grief and life transitions, I’m here to offer compassionate support on your journey.
I want you to know that I deeply understand grief and loss, both personally and as a mother. I’ve navigated life transitions myself, and I know how important it is to have support during those challenging times. My own experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, allowing me to offer compassionate, informed guidance as you move through your healing journey.
My hope is that you are here because you're seeking support, healing, and guidance through life’s challenges.
Whether you're dealing with grief, anxiety, postpartum struggles, or life transitions, I understand the weight these experiences carry. As both a therapist and someone who has personally navigated grief and change, I’m here to offer the support and guidance you need to heal, grow, and rediscover balance in your life.
I am here to help by providing a safe, supportive space where you can process your emotions, gain clarity, and build the resilience needed to move forward. With my experience in grief, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions, I use a compassionate, holistic approach to help you heal and rediscover balance and strength in your life.

Life has a way of pulling us under—whether it’s the weight of anxiety, the ache of grief, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or the uncertainty of major life transitions. Maybe you're feeling stuck, lost, or simply overwhelmed by it all.
I want you to know: you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I understand the heaviness that comes with life’s challenges, not just as a therapist but as someone who has walked through them myself. As a mom, I know the joys and struggles of pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood—and the fear and anxiety that can come with it. After experiencing a miscarriage, I carried the weight of that loss through my next pregnancy, feeling both grateful and terrified at the same time. That journey shaped me, deepened my empathy, and strengthened my passion for helping others find healing.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in EMDR, CBT, family systems, grief therapy, and perinatal mental health (PMH-C). But beyond the techniques and training, my approach is about meeting you where you are—with warmth, understanding, and a deep commitment to your healing.
I particularly love working with teens, young adults, adults, and parents, helping them make sense of their stories, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a life that feels more whole. Together, we can work through what’s weighing you down and create a path forward—one step at a time.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you—because you were never broken.
It’s about helping you rediscover your resilience, process your pain, and step into the life you deserve.
If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to walk this journey with you.
How I work:
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that healing comes from understanding and honoring your unique story. By offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space, I help you navigate life’s challenges and foster growth, balance, and resilience for lasting change.
Healing starts with understanding your unique story. I offer a compassionate space to navigate challenges and foster growth, balance, and lasting change. When we restore your heart, we restore your family and home. Healing begins within, and as you find peace, clarity, and strength, it ripples out to your relationships and home life. A balanced, healthy heart fosters healthier connections, bringing harmony to your family and creating a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive.
