"I have been seeing Amanda for almost three years now for GAD and Grief counseling. I can honestly say Amanda is not like any other typical NYC therapist. I genuinely enjoy my sessions with Amanda as she is astute and extraordinary perceptive. Amanda is kind, charismatic, and keeps you engaged in every session.

"Amanda is the only therapist I've ever connected with. She's extremely responsive, solution-oriented, and supportive. Not only has she helped me work through a huge range of events, but she also takes the time to explain the science/reasoning behind certain practices/techniques. She works with me to ensure I get to the root cause of my issues, not just working on the symptoms (which we do, too!) I cannot recommend her enough"

Welcome To My Practice

It's indisputable that life frequently confronts us with a spectrum of challenges, often manifesting as abrupt changes. These life transitions, even when positive, can catapult us into a state of disarray, leading to stress, bewilderment, and vulnerability. However, equipped with the appropriate tools and mindset, you possess the capacity not only to surmount any adversity but also to evolve into a more authentic and self-assured version of yourself.

As a licensed therapist, my role is to help clients identify their unique pathways in life and uncover the next stages in the process of self-actualization. It is amazing how powerful the human mind is; sometimes, we become so fixated on the way that others perceive us that we lose sight of our life's course and start to mold ourselves to match the labels that others place on us. In such cases, we fail to recognize our self-worth and overlook our ability to control our thoughts and, ultimately, our happiness. 


Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be a liberating initial stride toward rediscovering your true self. Despite certain steps along this path possibly feeling daunting or intimidating, you will be accompanied by a supportive presence, attentively listening, and encouraging you to reach your goal.
