Mandy Magalhaes, LCSW is a neurodivergent (ADHD) mental health clinician with a deep passion for supporting women in reconnecting with their bodies, nurturing self-awareness, and cultivating authentic expression. With over seven years of experience in the mental health field, Mandy specializes in working with women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and the lasting impacts of trauma, socialization, and capitalism on mental health and self-worth.

Currently completing a Somatic Educator Training, Mandy weaves somatic exercises, mindfulness, expressive arts, and trauma-informed care into her work. Her approach is rooted in the belief that healing begins in the body, and that true self-care means returning to oneself—beyond expectations, roles, and productivity culture.

Mandy creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for women to explore neurodivergence, unlearn internalized systems of oppression, and gently come home to their own bodies and truth. Her work helps women move away from perfectionism and disconnection, and toward nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and sustainable wellness practices.

She utilizes a person-centered, strengths-based approach, drawing from Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, somatic tools, and expressive arts to support each client’s unique journey.

Mandy holds a Master of Social Work from Bridgewater State University, where she researched and advocated for self-care and wellness in the helping professions. She also holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Women and Gender Studies from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

When she’s not supporting others in their healing, Mandy is often found making messy art, reconnecting with nature, playing with her fur babies, or exploring her own practices of rest, joy, and embodiment.
