Amanda Marino: Co-Founder of Next Level Recovery Associates

Amanda Marino is a certified Recovery and Life coach. A passionate mental health professional located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, she helps those struggling with addiction, low self-esteem, and mental or emotional roadblocks. Amanda holds a bachelor of science in alternative medicine and has experienced addiction — and real recovery — firsthand.

Amanda’s mission in life is to guide individuals out of addiction into empowered, meaningful, fulfilling lives. Her past struggles with substance use disorders, body dysmorphia, and abuse from others made her even more passionate about this mission. Having experienced the power of recovery for herself, her passion now is to equip hurting people for long-term healing.

An experienced content creator, Amanda previously hosted a recovery-focused podcast alongside Blake Cohen, co-founder of Next Level Recovery. Blake and Amanda’s experience with the podcast, titled Overcoming Adversity, made them even more passionate and driven to help others, make a difference in the world, and raise mental health awareness.

In addition to her clinical work, Amanda was prominently featured in the A&E Digital Addiction series, where she served as an expert reference for the show. She is a proud member of the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS) and is a Certified Intervention Specialist (CIS).
