Biography

Amanda Chamberlain, MSCP, LPC, EMDR Consultant, CPTT

I feel called to work with survivors of trauma. Trauma can create a state of hypervigilance that makes it difficult to function in the present. Discovering the roots of triggers, negative perceptions, and patterns of response can free us to envision a path of healing. I welcome adults, age 18 and over, beginning with all clients where they are on their personal journey. I have experience with early attachment trauma, physical and sexual assault/abuse/neglect, and betrayal trauma.

I am passionate about helping individuals who have endured the impact of infidelity and loving someone with sexually compulsive behaviors. I have training and experience helping clients with symptoms of complex PTSD, including dissociation, difficulty with relationships, and understanding needs and boundaries. In February of 2025 I achieved EMDR Consultant status and look forward to helping more clinicians achieve their goals as EMDR providers and consultants.

My perspective is influenced by attachment-based theories, the Adaptive Information Processing model, parts work/ internal systems theories, mindfulness, creative arts, EMDR, and CBT. I received my BA in psychology from Point Park University in 2006 and my MS in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University in 2010. Specialized Training: Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, Certified Partner Trauma Therapist(CPTT), APSATS trained.
