Amanda Lee

Welcome! I have worked in private practice for several years since earning my Masters in Social Work from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY in 2018. I have a specialization in advanced clinical interventions and child/adolescent development. I will embrace any client that comes to therapy as they are, but I have extensive experience with people who exhibit anxiety, depression, trauma, mood swings, self-esteem issues, and behavioral/developmental neurodivergencies. Come as you are!

I will utilize whichever theoretical framework that I feel will most effectively address your presenting difficulties. We will initially work to build our therapeutic alliance, then begin to identify and explore cyclical behaviors, patterns, and past experiences that are currently impacting your life. Through the practice of unconditional positive regard, you are completely accepted for wherever you are in life. Allow me to meet you where you are and walk alongside you in healing.

My goals as your therapist are to make you feel heard, seen, and validated; to know that you have a place where there is no judgment held against you, and that you are accepted exactly as you are. Every one deserves a safe space. I feel that with the right fit of a therapist, our sessions can provide the openness that is required for vulnerability and change. Therapy is hard, changing our behaviors and mind frames can seem monumental, but it is often a very rewarding and worthwhile journey.
