As a Graduate Student Intern pursuing her master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at New York University, Amanda offers a unique blend of contemporary knowledge and passionate dedication to her clients' well-being.
Amanda's approach is rooted in providing a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their goals and aspirations for treatment.

This broad spectrum of experience allows her to adapt her techniques to meet the specific needs of each individual, couple, or family she counsels.
Specializing in a variety of mental health challenges, Amanda is equipped to support clients navigating trauma, PTSD, stress, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, family dynamics, and social anxiety. Her primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral, but she skillfully integrates other modalities such as Psychodynamic orientation, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-informed techniques to tailor treatment to each client's unique circumstances.
Amanda's holistic approach to mental health is evident in her incorporation of innovative techniques. She offers not only traditional Individual Therapy, Couples or Family Therapy, and Group Therapy but also integrates holistic wellness techniques such as art, play, and music therapy into her practice. This comprehensive approach addresses not just the mind but the whole person, fostering a more complete path to healing and personal growth.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, Amanda breaks down language barriers, making mental health support more accessible to a wider community.

Amanda's commitment to building trust and rapport in the client-therapist relationship is at the core of her practice, creating a foundation for effective, transformative therapy.
Guided by the philosophy of Viktor Frankl that "Life is not what happens to us, but how we respond to it," Amanda empowers her clients to take an active role in their mental health journey. She focuses on enhancing self-compassion, emotional regulation, and personal growth, providing the tools and support needed for clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.
