  • Amanda Ingrassia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and two-time alumna of Florida State University, where she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work. She is also a graduate of the University of West Florida’s Master of Public Administration program, reflecting her commitment to leadership in both clinical and systems-level practice.

    Amanda currently serves as the Intake and Eligibility Supervisor for the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD), where she oversees complex decision-making, policy interpretation, and service access for individuals and families across the region. Her work at APD reflects her belief that social workers have an essential role far beyond the therapy room—shaping how systems operate, how resources are allocated, and how communities are supported.

    Her dedication to mental health and substance use recovery developed through her own personal recovery journey beginning in 2020. Since then, she has become an advocate and leader in Tallahassee’s recovery community, serving on the Board of Directors for Recovery Opportunity Collective (ROC) and engaging in multiple local initiatives designed to expand access to person-centered support. Amanda has also been featured in FSU’s Communitas Magazine, where she shared her approach to macro and mezzo social work and her commitment to trauma-informed, dignity-driven leadership.

    A thoughtful communicator and natural mentor, Amanda believes strongly that clinical practice is not limited to individual sessions, it must influence policy, programming, and the larger landscape of mental health care. Her supervision style emphasizes reflection, ethics, compassion, and the development of confident, community-minded clinicians.

She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Psychology & Social Work (2012) and her Master of Social Work (2013) from Florida State University, and has since become a respected leader in clinical training, tobacco dependence treatment, and mental health workforce development.

    As the Tobacco Program Manager for the Area Health Education Center at the Florida State University College of Medicine, Rebecca works at the intersection of clinical practice, community health, and professional education. She oversees initiatives that increase access to evidence-informed treatment for individuals experiencing both mental health or addiction challenges and tobacco dependence. Her work includes community outreach, technical assistance for clinicians trained as Tobacco Treatment Specialists (TTS), organization-wide training for behavioral health providers, and direct facilitation of tobacco dependence support groups for the local community mental health hospital.

She brings warmth, expertise, and adaptability to her clinical work, supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, trauma, health behavior change, and complex co-occurring needs. She believes therapy should be collaborative and tailored—meeting people where they are, honoring their lived experience, and empowering them to determine the direction of their own growth.

    Her commitment to the profession extends far beyond direct practice. Rebecca serves as the Staff Advisor for Hang Tough at FSU, sits on the FSU College of Social Work Field Advisory Committee, and contributes to advancing the profession statewide as Continuing Education Chair for the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Big Bend Steering Committee.

    Outside of work, Rebecca is an engaged community member, devoted friend, and advocate for accessible, high-quality mental health care. She brings the same authenticity, empathy, and integrity to her professional roles as she does to her life within the Tallahassee community.
