AMANI Clinical Services is a group of passionate, warm, friendly, and fun professionals who are dedicated to clinical excellence and diversity. Our mission is to provide evidence-based and personalized, comforting and challenging services to those in need throughout the lifespan. We serve infants in their parent-child dyads all the way up to those in the sunset phase of life.

We specifically specialize in a few domains, including:

• children (from the itty-bittiest through emergent adulthood; depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, neurodevelopmental disorders, behavior problems, affect regulation difficulties) and their families,
• couple relationships,
• reproductive and family formation decisions (reproductive trauma such as miscarriage/stillbirth/neonatal loss, NICU trauma and infertility; choosing to become parents or remain childfree, medical termination decisions, surrogacy decisions, choosing to form family through adoption),
• families formed through adoption,
• adoptee-specific needs throughout the lifespan,
• perinatal/maternal mental health,
• traumatic life experiences
• chronic medical conditions and medical trauma,
• geriatrics.

We range in educational experience (Counseling and Clinical Psychology) and licensure levels, but share a love of learning, growing, and pursuit of clinically applicable scholarly knowledge. At the moment, we are all female-identifying clinicians with a male-identifying manager.

AMANI Clinical Services values professionalism, clinical excellence, personalized and caring treatment for diverse patients from many diverse walks of life, treatment that is informed by scholarly knowledge, consultation/conversation/collaboration, and accurate self-assessment and self-care for all providers. We are an anti-racist organization. We also view ourselves as providing pediatric primary mental health care and enjoy long-term relationships with kids and their families who return to us as adolescents, young adults, or adults building and navigating their own lives and teens/adults who return to us for care at later stages of their development. We are seeking candidates that align with our values.
