Amanda Theel

Amanda Theel serves as Office Manager at Advanced Practice Mental Health and Wellness of South Carolina, bringing seven years of experience in the mental health field and a strong commitment to creating an organized, compassionate, and patient-centered practice. She studied at UNC Greensboro and Liberty University and has a background that combines administration, education, customer service, technology, and mental health care. A major focus of Amanda’s role is developing and supporting the administrative team. She is dedicated to training staff to meet high standards of professionalism, accuracy, communication, and patient service. She believes a strong administrative team is an essential part of quality mental health care and works to ensure staff understand not only how to perform their responsibilities, but also how their interactions can shape a patient’s overall experience with the practice.

Amanda is especially passionate about patient interaction and strives to ensure that every individual who contacts the practice feels heard, respected, and understood. She recognizes that navigating mental health services, insurance requirements, referrals, and appointments can sometimes be challenging, and she continually looks for ways to make those processes easier and more welcoming for patients and families. Her role also extends into project management, practice development, technology systems, problem-solving, community outreach, and marketing. Amanda has a particular love for marketing and finding creative ways to educate communities about available mental health services. She enjoys identifying resources, developing community partnerships, and expanding awareness of service options throughout South Carolina so that individuals and families have more opportunities to find the care and support that best fit their needs.

Whether she is training administrative staff, improving an office process, assisting a patient, developing a new project, or helping connect the practice with communities across the state, Amanda approaches her work with attention to detail, empathy, and a drive to continually improve the experience for both patients and staff.

Outside of work, Amanda enjoys spending time with her son, Harrison. Together, they love going to the beach, playing video games, and sharing their enthusiasm for all things Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney.

Amanda’s outlook is inspired by the idea that, “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.” She believes in finding something positive even through life’s challenges. Her own experiences have strengthened her passion for helping others—a passion that began during her time as a teacher and ultimately led her to the mental health field. For Amanda, this work is more than managing an office. It is an opportunity to support a team, strengthen the patient experience, connect people with resources, and help make quality mental health care more accessible throughout South Carolina.
