Bio
Amanda Hess is a licensed mental health provider and disaster mental health responder based in Hawai‘i, where land, climate, and culture shape both her clinical work and her daily life. She brings over a decade of experience in couples therapy, trauma-informed care, climate-conscious therapy, and systems-level resilience work, including federal and community collaborations.

Her work blends ecotherapy, Gottman Method, somatic practices, and outdoor experiential therapy to help individuals, couples, and families reconnect to themselves, their relationships, and the living world around them. Amanda’s approach is grounded, direct, and deeply respectful of the wisdom carried by bodies, landscapes, and nervous systems.

In addition to private practice, she volunteers in search and rescue, disaster response, and community resilience initiatives. Her work sits at the intersection of healing, preparedness, and reverence for the natural world.
