Hi!

My name is Amanda and I am a Substance Abuse & Wellness Counselor at the Brien Center

​. I have a BS from Suffolk University in psychology with a concentration in growth and development. I have also completed my courses for my LDAC ( licensed drug and alcohol counselor) and plan to sit for the exam in the fall . I started my work with substance and wellness support in 2009 at Revere alternative high school outside of Boston. I worked as a counselor to students who were attempting to finish high school while in trouble with the law. When moving to Berkshire County I found the Brien center and started working in the local schools from 2012-2014.

I then left to care for my first child and got an evening position at BMC at the McGee unit for detox. I learned a lot about addiction and even more about recovery in my years at McGee. I felt I needed to return to the school system in an attempt to help Berkshire youth avoid the throws of addiction .. to help them avoid the need for a safe medical detox. Helping youth recognize current and invent new coping skills is my jam and I hope you will reach out and take the help when you may need it. We are here and happy to talk it out. Thanks for reading!!
