Amanda Valentin, LCSW

Amanda Valentin, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CT
Somewhere along the way, a lot of us decide the problem must be us. If your brain works differently, or you lived through something that never quite stopped echoing, I want you to hear this: you are not weird, and you are not broken. Something happened to you, and it was real and hard. You have probably spent years carefully managing how you come across, and in my office you can stop. You can say it wrong, change your mind halfway through, and you never have to get it right the first time. For me, therapy begins with the relationship, since it is hard to do real work with someone you do not trust yet. I will take my time getting to know you, including the words that feel right when you talk about yourself and what you have been through. We begin in your comfort zone while we build that trust, and from there my job is to invite you into your challenge zone, which is where growth happens. I will never push you into your crisis zone, and if you ever feel we are going too far, you can tell me and we will work through it together. The hardest things are welcome here too, and I will not shut the conversation down or make it feel bigger than it already is. I work with clients across the lifespan, with a particular passion for children and adolescents, including the very youngest, as well as neurodivergent clients and people healing from trauma and domestic violence. When I work with a child, I treat parents and family as part of the work, not bystanders to it. I care about every part of your life, so I will want to hear about your week, your friends, and how basketball season is going. I am down to earth and easygoing, and I believe there is always room for laughter, even in hard work. Whether you are reaching out for yourself or for your child, I would love to hear from you.
