Amanda Benzing is a dedicated pre-licensed professional who is passionate about supporting individuals on their recovery journey from eating disorders. Currently pursuing her Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, which she will complete in 2022, Amanda brings not only her academic knowledge but also her personal understanding of the complexities involved in living with an eating disorder. She recognizes how consuming the disorder can be—impacting one’s relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Amanda's therapeutic approach offers hope and cultivates a healthier relationship with one’s body and self. She focuses on helping clients dissociate their eating disorder from their identity and learn the principles of body neutrality and self-love. Her sessions are designed to transform negative thoughts into empowering narratives infused with logic and self-compassion while equipping clients with new coping strategies. As a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee under the supervision of Carol Adkisson, LMFT #83484, Amanda has experience in peer mentorship with Project Heal and has led a support group for eating disorders for two years. She is proud of her clients for taking the brave step toward recovery and looks forward to walking alongside them on their journey towards healing and growth.
