Getting to know Amanda Selim

Taking the step to seek therapy can be difficult and even scary. Whether you’re navigating life stressors, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply feeling like something isn’t quite right, you don’t need a specific reason to seek support. If therapy feels like something you want to explore, I’m here to help. As a mental health counselor, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, your experiences, and the patterns that shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes, we all just need a helping hand as we navigate life. Growing up Middle Eastern and Hispanic has given me the privilege of experiencing and learning from different cultural backgrounds and perspectives. I value the ways that culture, family, identity, and our experiences can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My primary approach is psychodynamic therapy, which explores how our upbringing, attachment, and early experiences can influence the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we experience today. Together, we can explore patterns that may not always be immediately clear and develop a deeper understanding of where they come from. I also incorporate a person-centered approach as the foundation of my work. This means that our time together is centered around you—your needs, your goals, and your experiences. We’ll take things at your pace, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
