Child, family, and maternal therapy in Niagara

Journeying alongside you and your family through life’s challenges is such a privilege. We’d love to hear your story and see how we can work together to get you and your family functioning at its best!

Hi, I’m Amanda (MSW, RSW)

But you can call me Mandy!

Taking the first step to getting support is often the hardest one to take. I’m really glad you’re here and look forward to hearing your story.

My hope is that you can feel supported and cared for, as we work collaboratively to reach your unique goals in therapy. We provide support for moms in the perinatal period (and beyond!), parents with young children, children and teens experiencing mental health challenges, and individuals and couples seeking support. Everyone is unique, and our approach is always tailored to meet your individual needs.

We weren’t meant to do this alone!

Every aspect of family life has complexities and challenges. Whether you are trying to start or grow your family, you are expecting a baby, you are new parents, or in the thick of parenting- We’re here to journey alongside you through these seasons.

As a mom to three children, I know firsthand how even the most joyous of times can bring about conflicting and confusing emotions to work through. It was through my own transition to motherhood that I grew passionate about supporting moms in the perinatal period and beyond. More than ever before, the expectations put on moms can feel isolating and even debilitating, maybe you’re feeling burnt out and struggling to show up for your family in the ways you want. You aren’t alone in feeling this way, and reaching out for support is a sign of your strength. Investing in your mental health is important, together we can get you feeling like your full self again!

Struggling to manage the big emotions of the little people that you love so much? Tired of dealing with the same challenging behaviours over and over? We have extensive experience, both in our personal and professional lives, optimizing toddler discipline strategies and helping you co-regulate those big emotions.

Noticing some changes in your child or teen’s mental health? We provide individual and family therapy to help you and your family work through the various challenges that are being faced with.

Our clinic was made with you in mind.

When Amanda Peters Therapy was founded in 2022, we couldn’t imagine the grassroots and organic growth that we’d experience. But we couldn’t be more proud and thankful that we get to support individuals and their families.

In 2023, we invested significantly into a completely renovated clinic in St. Catharines that is bright, comfortable, and a safe place for you to take time and invest in yourself and your family.

While we are happy to meet virtually, we are big believers in the human connection that is experienced in-person at our clinic, and I’d encourage you to read our therapist’s bios and check out their availability online. And as always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our contact page is located here.

 

In-person or online appointments

Our welcoming and newly renovated clinic is located at 282 Linwell Road (unit 210A) in St. Catharines. Just enter by the LifeLabs, go up the stairs or elevator, and we’re the last suite on the right. There is plenty of free parking available.

We also offer virtual appointments if that’s your preference.
