Amanda Firrincieli

Hi! My name is Amanda Firrincieli and I'm currently working as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of NY, having received my master's degree from St. John's University. I work mainly with adolescents and adults from various backgrounds and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and trauma. I work mostly from a cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based framework but also have training in cognitive processing theory and exposure and response prevention.

My approach when working with clients is to create a safe, comfortable environment for them to be able to express their emotions in a transparent and constructive way. I prioritize the incorporation of humor, when appropriate, to build rapport and assure clients that I am just as human as they are.

My hope is that clients will leave each session feeling like they learned something either about themselves or about the therapeutic process. I work hard at tailoring each session to the needs of that individual and keep an open mind when it comes to the different needs of different people.
