About
Dr. Amanda Otero is a bilingual Clinical Psychologist at the Rowan Center for Behavioral Medicine with advanced training in health psychology and integrated behavioral care. She specializes in supporting individuals navigating cancer, organ and bone marrow transplant, bariatric surgery, and women’s health concerns. Fluent in English and Spanish, Dr. Otero provides culturally responsive, evidence-based care that helps individuals adjust to medical diagnoses, manage emotional challenges, and build resilience in outpatient and telehealth settings.
In her clinical work, Dr. Otero mostly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and a Person-Centered approach. She integrates these methods to provide tailored treatment that supports each patient’s goals, while also fostering a supportive and collaborative space where individuals feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools for their well-being.
Dr. Otero’s clinical background includes hospital-based consultation services, inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy, presurgical evaluations, group therapy development, and close collaboration with medical teams in oncology, transplant, rehabilitation, and primary care settings. These experiences allow her to bring a comprehensive and integrated perspective to the care she provides.
