I grew up in a home that included alcoholism and abuse; I too grew into an addiction throughout my 20’s. After many years into my healing journey and my first healthy relationship I began to notice issues with the way I was handling life’s challenges. I knew it was connected to the past and I grew tired of carrying around stress.
I decided I would find a therapist and began my search. I came across Amanda’s profile and I loved her bio, what I didn’t like was that she was pretty. I know that sounds odd, but in my mind I thought she must have had an easy life. I later found that she’s an incredibly strong woman and she helped me evolve into the best version of myself.
I knew instantly she was a good fit, we met outside for the first time; to me, nature is very healing. I soon realized while working with her that I struggled with self-care. I was not making time for myself. I was moving forward in life, but the past still had a handle on me.
Throughout therapy I felt empowered, I graduated college, regained custody of a child, built a firm foundation in my relationship, and learned to understand that the past is just part of my story it is not the essence of who I am as a person.
Amanda never told me what to do, she never once acted disappointed, but had a strong sense of empathy. I knew she was doing therapy, but it didn’t feel like it, I couldn’t tell. All the while my life got better and better, I kept getting stronger. Today I feel amazing!
I have positive coping skills and I now can allow people to be who they are, I accept them. My childhood no longer dictates the way I feel today. I am strong, resilient, kind, and successful.
I wish we could put a therapist like Amanda in every organization she’s the best I’ve ever seen.

If you really want to change, Dr. Kontor is the person for you! I found her through a friend of mine and noticed such a big difference almost immediately after my friend started seeing her. I wanted what she had and I am glad I made the commitment to heal myself. I never knew therapy could be like this-I wish I had started a long time ago.

Amanda doesn't just work with anyone as she will say "I am not for everyone." I love this because she has a genuine interest in helping people.
I needed truth spoken to me and she was just the person to do that. I am an independent business woman who makes a living telling people what to do. When I reached a point in my personal life where there were barriers I had difficulty getting past, I needed someone like Amanda to guide me through and Amanda delivered.
My coaching calls are always on point! I feel empowered and motivated to take on anything! She provides a unique perspective that promotes me to think differently. I have such clarity in my day to day now and I owe so much gratitude for a colleague connecting us.
One piece of advice I could give anyone interested in hiring Amanda, is DO IT!

I am very happy to have started coaching sessions with Amanda. Sometimes I want to quit, but i hear Amanda in my ear telling me that I am worth the struggle, worth the uncomfortableness. Now I believe it and it is because I met Amanda. She helped me improve my relationships with my family and especially my wife. Dr. K is dope.

I have experiences with other coaches and I would say the biggest difference is Amanda is super empathetic which is helpful when dealing with barriers. I think it is because of her mental health background, but it is exactly what I needed. She has helped me immensely-everyone needs an Amanda in their life.

KAT has provided me with the clarity and courage I needed to face difficult decisions in my life.

Ketamine is a game changer for me. My anxiety has been reduced by 90%. Having a therapist to help me create new behavioral habits has been very helpful.

I tried ketamine therapy to deepen my healing journey, and lower anxiety levels. Initially, I thought I wanted to remember things from the past that I couldn’t remember. I was seeking peace with my childhood. Dr. Kontor recommended I try it and I am glad I did. I have now done it twice and plan to do it again.
What I gained from it was clarity, lower anxiety levels, and a different perception. Interestingly, I no longer am seeking to remember the block from early in life. I’m not sure if everyone has the same experience, but day three after my first experience was when I noticed I felt clear and peaceful. After my second treatment through an IM route, I felt great the next day. The treatment shouldn’t be something to fear it was not what I expected, the experience was helpful. I would recommend a person have a professional guide with them to ensure notes are being taken. It can be very symbolic. Overall, I hope stigma and false information do not create fear for people wanting to seek treatments that are outside the box of traditional interventions.

I had been suffering from chronic pain in my legs and feet stemming from spinal fusion surgery. After a year of getting no answers from specialists while I was progressively getting worse I discovered ketamine therapy was available.
After one session I have experienced substantial reduction in pain and anxiety. My mood has generally improved and pain has become more manageable!
Amanda and Kate did a wonderful job explaining everything and making it a comfortable experience before and after. This has changed my life! I can't recommend it enough!
