Meet Amanda Wheeler Flotlin, LMFT & Coach

My Approach to Therapy & Coaching

Hello! I’m Amanda, my pronouns are she/her, and I’m a Los Angeles, based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #153661). I specialize in working with creatives and individuals in the entertainment industry who struggle with eating disorders, body image, anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, career transitions, relational challenges, grief, and self-worth. With over a decade of prior experience in the music and entertainment industry, I understand firsthand the pressures of balancing creativity, performance, and personal well-being, and I bring this insight into my clinical work.

With experience at a Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient (PHP/IOP) eating disorder treatment facility, I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy. I collaborate with dietitians, psychiatrists, and medical doctors when appropriate to ensure comprehensive care. My work is grounded in HAES (Health at Every Size) and Intuitive Eating principles, focusing on helping you develop a more compassionate relationship with food and your body while cultivating resilience and self-acceptance.

My therapeutic approach blends relational work and exploration of past experiences with practical, evidence-based tools. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy), and the Trauma Resiliency Model. I also integrate mindfulness, parts work, and nutrition-focused mental health strategies. Together, we’ll identify and challenge unhelpful patterns, set manageable goals, and create meaningful behavioral changes that support both healing and growth.

In addition to therapy, I offer coaching for clients navigating career transitions or seeking clarity in their personal and professional lives. Whether you’re working through creative blocks, struggling with anxiety, or aiming to build confidence, I provide a supportive space to explore new possibilities and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

Feel free to reach out to learn more about how I can support you.
