Amanda Lehrer is a seasoned clinician and clinical case manager with over 25 years in behavioral health and more than two decades of experience in the substance use field. Her career began in systems where fragmented care often left the most vulnerable behind — experiences that shaped her commitment to integrative, person-centered care rooted in collaboration, dignity, and access.

Amanda specializes in complex co-occurring mental health conditions, drawing from deep clinical expertise and a trauma-informed, harm reduction lens. She is particularly passionate about supporting women through life’s major transitions — including perinatal and postpartum mental health, hormonal changes, and midlife identity shifts. As a mother of four, she brings both personal insight and clinical grounding to this work. She is currently completing certification in sex therapy through the International Contemporary Psychotherapy Institute, expanding her focus to include sexual well-being and intimate partnerships.

Her strengths-based approach integrates psychotherapy with clinical case management to support clients across diagnostic, relational, and functional domains. She provides targeted care for individuals navigating thought and mood disorders, trauma, substance use, disordered eating, and chronic stress. Drawing on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), as well as Polyvagal Theory, Amanda tailors her interventions to the individual — always with an eye toward building resilience, stability, and autonomy.

Amanda believes that healing is a process rooted in showing up, doing the work, and practicing care for self as part of a sustainable path forward. She integrates principles of positive psychology to help clients reconnect with meaning, strength, and purpose — even amid struggle. Her practical, real-world approach is especially effective for clients who have not found success in more traditional settings.

In her clinical case management work, Amanda provides structured support for high-acuity individuals and guides transitions to higher levels of care when needed — always in partnership with clients and families to ensure continuity, choice, and connection.

An LGBTQ+ affirming clinician, Amanda is dedicated to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care. She sees clients in person in Woodstock and New York City, and offers hybrid services to individuals in New York, Connecticut, and Washington, DC.
