About MindRise Psychology
Hello, and welcome! I’m Dr. Amanda Priest, the founder of MindRise Psychology, LLC.
I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Massachusetts who specializes in working with children and adolescents, as well as adults. I am trained in evidence-based approaches to treating PTSD and other trauma related disorders. In addition to trauma, I commonly treat the following conditions: depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, and ADHD. ​​
​
MindRise offers individual therapy services via tele-health to children, adolescents, and adults, in addition to family therapy.
MindRise is committed to sharing evidence-based resources that help people better understand their minds, manage stress, regulate emotions, and build healthier patterns in daily life. These tools are grounded in psychological science and designed to be practical, accessible, and empowering.
Everything at MindRise is guided by the belief that growth can be:
-
Compassionate, not harsh
-
Structured, not rigid
-
Grounded, not overwhelming
​
Whether you are here for psychotherapy services, resources, or educational tools, MindRise exists to help you rise to meet your highest self with intention, stability, and self-trust.
