Welcome,

I am Amanda Wheeler, owner for HealTHY Mind PLLC. A bit about me; I have over 15 years experience of working with families and children. More recently, my work has been primarily with perinatal mothers experiencing depression, anxiety and social isolation. I support natural remedies such as nutrition, exercise, support systems, and meditation in addition to talk therapy and medication management.

Specializing in:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Panic Attacks
• Postpartum Wellness
• Parenting
• Natural Remedies

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor/ Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2016. I am a PMH-C certified in perinatal mental health through PSI Postpartum Support International. I am a Tier 1 Star Behavioral Health Provider, supporting our military and their families. I have experience supporting children, teens and adults with concerns such as anxiety and depression. I have my undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology. I am licensed in both Massachusetts and Virginia. I am open to working with individuals ages 16 and older.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, and families.

I work with relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, maternal mental health, and life transitions.

My training includes EMDR, DBT, the Gottman Method, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Maybe your mind never seems to slow down. You're managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, ADHD, grief, or the weight of something painful, while trying to keep up with everyday life. I'm Danielle, an LCSW, certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), and EMDR-trained therapist. I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I also support women, partners, and parents through infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss, when life can feel both beautiful and overwhelming.

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults realize their maximum potential by assisting with overcoming struggles, stress, and trauma.

This field is everything to me. I have been fully licensed for a short time but have worked in mental health for over 10 years in many roles. Working with clients, being alongside them through their most difficult and profound experiences, is the biggest honor one could have.

I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. You don’t have to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or arrive with everything figured out. It needs to be your safe place.

My approach is warm,compassionate, and deeply human. I work with people who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Together, we make space to understand what you’ve been through, what your nervous system has learned to protect you from, and what you need now in order to heal and move forward.

I created Gentle Ground Therapy with the hope of offering exactly what the name represents—a soft place to land, where you feel comfortable and safe.

You are more than what has happened to you, and healing does not mean becoming someone new. Sometimes it means gently finding your way back to yourself.
