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.
As an Asian immigrant from Taiwan, I understand firsthand the pressures of balancing cultural expectations with life in the U.S.—like feeling torn between family obligations and personal goals, navigating identity in different cultural spaces, or struggling to express emotions that may not feel “acceptable” in your community. These experiences inform my work with clients who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected, especially when patterns from the past show up in relationships, work, or life transitions. With years of experience in private practice and community clinics in NYC, I create a compassionate, culturally attuned space for young adults, professionals, and anyone seeking to better understand themselves, explore their emotions, and build clarity, confidence, and resilience.
I have expertise in PTSD/trauma, disordered eating, and anxiety. Getting help is a brave step, but you don't have to do it alone! My practice is welcoming and inclusive no matter who you are. I work with my clients at their own pace to create a safe space to reach meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Whether you’re looking to work on self-esteem, heal body image, or recover from trauma, we'll work together to find the best approach for you.
As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.
Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner offering medication management. At this time I offer virtual sessions, with plans to add in‐person appointments in the near future. My approach is shaped by more than a decade of experience working in women's health as a nurse midwife. During that time, I realized how important it is to offer care that truly sees the whole person and honors their full experience. That background taught me how to sit with people in vulnerable moments, listen without rushing, and support them through real-life transitions with steadiness and compassion.
