Background

About Amanda Black

I am a graduate-level counselling intern and supervised behavioural clinician (ABA) with several years of experience supporting neurodivergent children, youth, and families. My work bridges behavioural science and psychotherapeutic practice, grounded in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and culturally responsive approach. I’m passionate about creating safe, reflective spaces where young people and their families can heal, connect, and grow—particularly those navigating complex emotional, developmental, or relational challenges. I value collaboration, curiosity, and ethical care, and strive to honour the unique experiences and identities of every client I work with. My background includes supporting clients across school, home, and clinical settings, facilitating group programs, and developing tools for emotional regulation and self-understanding. I approach this work with humility and a deep respect for the resilience of the people I serve. Let’s connect if you’re interested in child and family mental health, reflective practice, or neurodiversity-affirming care.
