Hello, my name is Amanda Clairday and I am a licensed independent clinical social worker. Based in Alabama, I have been a social worker for over 12 years and have worked in a wide variety of mental healthcare settings, including outpatient and inpatient environments. Throughout my education and career, I have gained extensive knowledge regarding various mental health disorders, psychotropic medications, interventions, and therapies. I continuously strive to further my education and knowledge base with up to date evidence based trainings because I believe that my clients deserve cutting edge care.
My role as a therapist has given me the opportunity to work with adults, children, and families. I take all types of clients, starting at age 14 and up. I have extensive experience working with adults over 65 years of age, as well as first responders and veterans. By taking a trauma centered approach, I work with clients at a pace that they are comfortable with. Though I am based in north Alabama at our East Limestone office, I also hold a license to practice in the state of Tennessee. I am happy to see Tennessee based clients face-to-face or virtually!
​
As a therapist, I take much enjoyment from leadership and lifting others up. I am licensed as a supervisor for clinical social workers and I believe that by sharing my expertise with fresh therapists, we can all work together to raise the bar for clients everywhere. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and time outdoors.
