Getting to know Amanda Smith

Hi there, I'm Amanda! My name is Amanda J. Smith. I am a psychotherapist licensed as a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and New Jersey, with over 5 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Long Island University, Brooklyn. I have worked with clients ranging from adolescents to the geriatric population, addressing a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, life changes and transitions, racial, cultural, and environmental stressors, as well as LGBTQ IA+ support. My approach My counseling style is non-judgmental, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I combine solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and client-centered modalities to tailor therapy to each individual's needs. My focus I specialize in supporting clients with depression, anxiety, life changes and transitions, racial, cultural, and environmental stressors, and LGBTQ IA+ concerns. My communication style I maintain a non-judgmental, warm, and interactive communication style, always aiming to create a safe and supportive space. My journey to therapy I understand how overwhelming it can feel to face emotional challenges and seek support. This understanding inspired me to become a therapist and provide that support to others. My goals for you I strive to help you improve your quality of life, achieve your emotional wellness goals, and support you in redefining your life. Together, we will explore techniques to guide you toward finding your desired balance. My first session with you In our first session, we will review what brought you to therapy, assess your stressors and strengths, discuss your personal goals, and create a customized treatment plan that fits your unique needs.
