Amanda Murphy

Coordinator of Medical Services

Amanda Murphy serves as CASJ’s Coordinator of Medical Services, where she oversees the Drug User Health Hub and helps participants access telehealth appointments for buprenorphine (Suboxone), Hepatitis C treatment, and wound care. She brings experience from the country’s first Overdose Prevention Center in Harlem, where she worked as both an Overdose Prevention Specialist and a Case Manager. During her time there, she facilitated mental-health–focused therapy groups and deepened her commitment to compassionate, judgment-free care that centers each person’s goals and lived experience.

A Long Island native, Amanda returned to her home community to support local harm reduction efforts at CASJ. Her earlier roles as a medical office manager and EMT give her a strong foundation in clinical support and crisis response. Amanda earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Mental Health from Southern New Hampshire University and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. She is deeply passionate about expanding access to mental health care, combating stigma, and ensuring every individual has the dignity, opportunity, and support needed to find stability, healing, and happiness.
