About Amanda P.
Amanda Parker, BA
SECOND YEAR INTERN
Hi, I'm Amanda! I am a graduate student in the Clinical Social Work program at the University of Tennessee, where I am also earning a Trauma Treatment Certificate. I plan to pursue licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) after I graduate in May 205. I earned my B.A. in Sociology and Human Services in 2014, and for the past ten years, I've worked in a variety of roles to support individuals and families. These have included providing counseling to students at a Montessori school, case management and school support to refugee families, coaching support for families seeking economic empowerment, and support to children and youth in community mental health and nonprofit settings. Currently, I help facilitate intensive group therapy for both adults and adolescents.
I approach each session with a deep respect for your unique experience, cultural background, and perspective. I believe in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can collaborate together. I look forward to meeting you!
