Hi there!
I'm Dr. Amanda Nicholson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in Sex Therapy. I hold a Master’s in Family Therapy and a Doctorate in Human Sexuality Studies, with a clinical concentration in sex therapy. Over the past seven years, I’ve supported individuals and couples through challenges related to intimacy, sexual trauma, communication, and self-worth.
I specialize in helping Black women of faith reclaim their sexual self-esteem and navigate the intersection of spirituality, identity, and pleasure with confidence and compassion.
I also work with couples to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen emotional intimacy—whether you're repairing or deepening your connection.
Therapy is a journey with peaks and valleys, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as your guide.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
