I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida with a PhD in Family Relations from The Florida State University as well as an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Kentucky and a BA in Psychology from The University of South Florida.
I understand that starting therapy can be scary and I strive to make your experience I positive one. I believe therapy should be a collaboration between therapist and client. You know your situation better than I do. I will combine my therapeutic expertise with your expertise about you, your family, and your situation to create workable solutions for you. I operate from an approach that draws on your strengths to help you and your family function the best it can!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I recommend Dr. Veldorale-Griffin to anyone who is willing to answer the though questions and change their situations for the better.
Dr. Amanda is awesome!! She listens to you and helps you in every way possible...... she makes you dig deep for answers, which pushed me to open up more. She is awesome!!
I really appreciated Amanda's insight and her words were very eye-opening and helpful for me. I would absolutely recommend her and this service in the future.
It's been a few months now with Dr.Veldorale-Griffin, and I can't begin to describe the amount of credit I give her for getting me where I am today. She's supportive, progressive, and just over all extremely helpful. I can confidently say that she's helped me finally begin to really put all the pieces back together that I was so sure were broken. Very excited to continue this journey!
Not only is Dr.Veldorale-Griffin extremely sweet, she's very real and knows how to handle the information that is provided to her. I feel very safe, and have developed a trust to where I know I can open up in the most honest way, which I haven't been able to do in a while. She knows what to say, what to suggest, and listens very well. Already seeing results in myself because of her. Glad I was provided with her help!
