Hello, I am glad you are seeking support. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida since 2019. I have worked with clients as young as 2 years old to seniors over 100 on issues such as grief and loss, parenting concerns, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-love. I use a client centered, strength based approach in assisting clients to meet their goals. To help clients to learn how to apply compassionate care towards themselves in turn providing them with the life long tool of supporting themselves in meeting their needs, always. All stemming from a holistic person-centered approach.

Taking the first step in building your mental health as well as having a trusting therapeutic relationship with someone who cares. We can work together toward managing life stressors to find healthy coping tools and eventually freedom. The therapeutic integration I strive for is one of acceptance, empathy, compassion, empowerment, dignity and respect. It is of the utmost importance for me to ensure the highest level of quality care to make sure it is tailored to meet your needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. Ready to take the steps to living your best life? I am here to support and empower you on a digital platform.

I look forward to talking soon!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amanda is incredible! She has so much empathy for people, and it makes it easy to trust her. One of the things that I love about our therapy sessions is rather than telling you what you should do, she helps you to come to the solution yourself and educates you on the tools to successfully manage different situations. Overall I would recommend her to anyone!

Dr Amanda is really the best therapist that i had tried so far (I tried many!!!). She is so knowledgeable and solution focused, kind and gives the best practical advices. I am still surprised on how much progress i made in these sessions w her help and that i am so excited to continue therapy, which in the pass has always been a challenge and all the other therapist made me feel like my problems were too superficial while she helped me feel empowered about the smallest details
