Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Amanda Sifonte, LCSW. I work with teens, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, chronic health conditions, grief, and life transitions. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. Using a collaborative and individualized approach, I tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals, helping you build practical skills, gain insight, and move toward lasting growth and well-being.

My approach to therapy

You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping you build on your strengths while developing practical tools for lasting change. I draw from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based Counseling to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs—not a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you, with you guiding the journey and me providing support, insight, and evidence-based strategies along the way.

This third option tends to perform well on therapist directories because it speaks directly to potential clients and emphasizes personalization, partnership, and hope.

What you can expect from me

I believe meaningful change begins with self-awareness. My goal is to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, values, and strengths so you can make empowered decisions, build resilience, and confidently navigate life's challenges. Through our work together, you'll gain practical tools and greater insight to create lasting growth and take ownership of the life you want to live.
