Getting to know Amanda Calandro
You’re showing up for everyone else, but who’s showing up for you? If you're exhausted from holding it all together, feeling disconnected, or just craving space to breathe and be real, you’re in the right place. Therapy with me is a partnership, rooted in trust, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience. We’ll work together to untangle what’s heavy and reconnect you to your voice, your boundaries, and your sense of self. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s figure it out, together.
My approach
My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I believe that no two people are the same—your story, your strengths, and your challenges are uniquely yours. That’s why I tailor our work together to fit your specific needs, values, and goals. I draw from modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and strengths-based approaches to help foster resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll work to uncover unhelpful patterns, gently challenge limiting beliefs, and build healthy, sustainable coping strategies that support your healing and growth. My role is to walk beside you—empowering you to reconnect with your inner strength, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward the life you want to live. Overall, my approach is inclusive, affirming, and trauma-informed. I’m committed to creating a space that welcomes all parts of you—your strengths, your struggles, your questions, and your hopes.
My focus
I specialize in supporting teens, adults & individuals from the LGBTQ+ community who are dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, major life changes, relationship issues, identity, trauma, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. My goal is to create a collaborative and compassionate space where you feel heard and understood.
