Amanda Shankman
LCPC with Extensive training in Psychological/Psychoeducational Testing
Mandy earned a Master’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in School Psychology from Millersville University of Pennsylvania in 2007. She spent 18 years serving as a school psychologist at both the school and district levels and maintains active MSDE certification as a school psychologist. Through her extensive school-based career, combined with her journey of becoming a parent, Mandy developed a deep personal interest in supporting people with neurodevelopmental differences.
Driven by a desire to expand her impact, Mandy returned to graduate school in 2022 to earn a Certificate of Advanced Study in Psychology, paving the way for licensure as a counselor. She is grateful to still be helping kids learn about their brains and is honored to now also help adults who grew up thinking they were broken because they were undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. It is a brave and powerful thing to start working with your brain instead of against it when you have spent most of your life ashamed that it doesn’t seem to work like everyone else’s. Outside of the office, Mandy enjoys spending time with her husband and three kids. In addition to them, her favorite things are nature, puns, and appreciating how absurd, challenging, and immensely fulfilling it is to be human.
