“I came in at the company at a tech level and moved up to where I am now, a clinical director of Children’s Residential Services,” Dr. Amanda King shared. Since joining Lakeview Center in November 2016, Dr. King has steadily advanced, building both her professional expertise and leadership skills.
After beginning her career here as a behavioral tech in the Adult Independent Living Program, she advanced to Case Manager in the Housing First program. Later, she served as clinical manager of Adult Residential Programs and then as team leader and licensed counselor for the LEAP Team. Along the way, she also achieved a significant personal milestone, earning her Doctorate of Social Work and graduating in May 2023.
Today, Dr. King serves as the Clinical Director of Meridian, a residential inpatient program for adolescents ages 7 to 17, as well as Cabot Heights and Arcadia Place, group homes that support foster youth with specialized behavioral health needs.
