With 20 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in

supporting parents of neurodivergent children, working with neurodivergent teens, and helping

adults navigate life’s challenges such as depression, anxiety, and identity.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California since 2008. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique life story.

I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, health issues, and interpersonal relationship challenges, trauma, grief, aging, and end-of-life concerns. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with their strengths while moving toward greater clarity, healing, and emotional balance.

I believe therapy heals from the inside out, cultivates resilience and growth, builds a life of meaning and purpose, empowering one to fully engage with life as their authentic self. In a welcoming sex-positive, affirming, judgement-free environment, together in partnership with you, I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to promote growth and healing that goes beyond relieving distress. My passion in therapy is the journey of transformation. I help clients identify and make value-driven choices, empowering them to achieve their goals and build the truly meaningful life they envision

My goal is to help my clients uncover their true potential and lead an authentic life. Connecting quickly to develop the trust of my clients, I am able to address their conflicts and challenges to help them find resolution. I provide individual, couples and family counseling in a safe and supportive environment. I offer a personalized approach, tailored to each individual client's unique life situation to help them attain the personal growth they are seeking.

I entered into this field to help individuals to learn, grow and heal at their own pace. I fundamentally believe that we are the experts of ourselves and our experiences. My role through my education, learning and experience is to support clients’ in unlocking their awareness of patterns to increase the clients’ ability to access the tools within them to facilitate their learning, growth and healing through a collaborative process.

As a Black/African American woman, I am passionate about working with people of color (especially people of color who identify as LGBTIA+) in destigmatizing mental health in our communities and identifying how systemic racism/systemic oppression affect our mental health.

My strengths as a therapist are rooted in fifteen years of experience working in the field as a mental health clinician in a variety of settings. I have supported individual’s ability to access their inherent tools to overcome struggles connected to trauma, grief & loss, depression and general anxiety. Over the course of my experience I have developed skills in providing therapy to underrepresented, underserviced families, children, individuals, and couples. I also have a wealth of experience supporting youth involved in the juvenile justice system, oppositional teens, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I'm Amanda Stoner, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Danville, California, serving clients statewide through telehealth. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, and executive functioning. My expertise extends to relationship challenges, separation, divorce, and co-parenting. With extensive knowledge of school and special education systems, including IEP and 504 supports, I'm well-equipped to help families navigate these complexities. My background includes a B.A. in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, giving me a strong foundation in human motivation and systems, and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, fueling my passion for supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the challenges of growth and development.

You made it, welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who came to this work with nearly a decade of crisis intervention experience - the kind of work that teaches you crisis and chaos isn't always an emergency, but often a transformation that needs space to unfold. I earned my degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, and I've spent my career specializing in the places where high-stakes work meets human breaking points: occupational trauma, moral injury, burnout, and the complex territory of identity and transition.

I work particularly well with people in helping professions -first responders, military, healthcare workers, teachers, therapists, and LGBTQIA+ folks - anyone who's spent years being the capable one, the reliable one, the one who shows up no matter what. My training includes Brainspotting, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), and somatic approaches that work with how trauma actually lives in your body and nervous system, not just in your thoughts.

Here's what matters: I get that asking for help doesn't come naturally when you're supposed to be the strong one. I understand that the hypervigilance that once kept you safe might now be keeping you isolated. And I know that sometimes the hardest part is figuring out who you are when you're not performing competence for everyone else. You don't have to translate your experience into therapy-speak with me, and you definitely don't have to pretend you're more okay than you are.
