Hey! I am so glad you're here. Let me introduce myself a little: I'm Amanda. I obtained a Master’s Degree in Social Work at Monmouth University, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I know how difficult it can be to start therapy, especially if it is your first time... so I am SO proud of you for being here. My goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible for you by creating a warm and nonjudgmental environment. Let's talk a little about what therapy is like with me... My therapy style is trauma informed, unbiased, and strengths-based. My clients have described me as strong and assertive, yet compassionate. I strongly believe in looking at the "whole you". Our bodies hold onto our pain and experiences, but our bodies also have the power to heal us; so besides just talking about your mental health, I will often ask what your nutrition, movement, hydration, and sleep are like. Let’s talk about it all!
