Getting to know Amanda Veras

I’m Amanda. I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships and more. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be fully yourself, without judgment or pressure to be “fixed.” I bring humor, compassion, and offer thoughtful grounded perspectives that can help you look at things in new ways. Whether you’re questioning old patterns, figuring out boundaries, or just trying to get through a tough time, I’m here to support you in finding clarity.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I do my best to make the process feel approachable, collaborative, and grounded. I show up as a real person: warm, curious, and supportive. You can expect a space where you’ll be listened to deeply and encouraged to explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns at your own pace. I’ll offer reflections, gentle challenges when needed, and new perspectives to help you connect the dots and move toward the changes you’re hoping for. We’ll work together to figure out what feels most helpful for you, whether that means processing emotions, building skills, or breaking patterns that are no longer serving you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and what’s been feeling difficult lately. We’ll work together to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and focused on what matters most to you. In our ongoing work, we might explore the different parts of you that show up in certain situations like the part that feels anxious, the part that wants to keep things together, or the part that feels stuck. We’ll look at how these parts may have developed. We’ll also take time to reflect on how past experiences might be showing up in your present life, and gently question old beliefs or stories you’ve been carrying about yourself. Some sessions might feel more reflective, while others focus on what’s going on for you right now. I’ll offer support, new perspectives, and gentle challenges when they’re helpful.
