“Amanda has been so important in my personal development. I am not sure where I would be without her - she has quite simply saved my life. I am truly grateful for her. The guidance and tools she has provided me through our sessions serve me on a daily basis. And, no matter what I bring to our appointments, I know I am going to get a calm, warm, and friendly demeanor but always firmly rooted in making sure I am heard and that I have what I need to move forward.”

“Amanda is an excellent therapist. I have recommended her to many of my close friends. She is confident and firm yet understanding and totally supportive. I've found it can be difficult to find a quality therapist but feel lucky that I found her a few years ago. She's helped me grow in a number of ways and gotten me through many challenges. ”

Getting to know Amanda Ferrara
A strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation of effective therapy. Openness, transparency, and honesty foster genuine rapport. Our sessions focus on exploring underlying feelings and core beliefs to deepen your understanding of lived experiences. Clients can expect thoughtful feedback, practical psychoeducation, and evidence-based behavioral strategies to replace unhelpful patterns with healthier alternatives.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I aim to provide support and guidance while strengthening self-awareness, all within a safe, nonjudgmental space that encourages growth and healthier coping skills. In-person and virtual sessions are available. A complimentary 10-minute phone consultation can be scheduled.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My style is supportive yet direct, I provide clear actionable feedback and maintain full transparency throughout our work together. Client's can expect an honest, collaborative partnership focused on meaningful growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Weekly psychotherapy sessions are recommended to build rapport and momentum. As progress is made, session frequency can be adjusted - often moving to biweekly then to monthly- based on need. We will work together and collaborate on session frequency.
