I want to help you heal your relationship.

Hi, I’m Amanda Halbert, AMFT — the therapist behind Salt + Heart Therapy. I work with couples who are tired of surface-level fixes and ready to do the real work of reconnecting. I specialize in helping partners untangle reactive cycles, communicate vulnerably, and rebuild trust, intimacy, and emotional safety.

I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and became an Associate MFT in July 2025. My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, blending deep emotional attunement with practical, research-based tools. I’ve completed formal training in EFT Externship and Core Skills, as well as Gottman Level 1, along with specialized training in working with couples impacted by substance use.Before becoming a therapist, I spent years doing my own inner child and attachment work — the same kind of work I now guide my clients through. I believe that healthy relationships start with secure self-connection and expand outward from there. My style is direct, warm, non-judgmental- a little salt, with a whole lot of heart ;).

If you and your partner are ready to stop looping and start healing, I'm here for the real conversations that change things.
