When I am not working, you can find me outside on a long walk with my son and dog or cozy with a book. I love a good rom-com story and a hot, hot coffee!Amanda Nihem

I like to think I'm unapologetically myself and really not good at having surface conversations for more than a few minutes ;). I love depth, love being goofy, honoring the creative side of myself with crafts, organizing, and putting cute outfits together for my 2 year old. I love cooking, Farmer’s markets, skiing, and making meaningful connections. I'm an LCSW and own a private practice with two amazing therapists who work for me that specialize in eating disorders, body image, and body acceptance. I follow my intuition and feel like all the meaningful things I do end up being against the grain, which sometimes feels challenging, but so right.Lexie Garfield-Turner
