Recent reviews
I’ve worked with several therapists in the past, and Amanda is, without a doubt, the best therapist I’ve ever had. As someone pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology, I can be a tough critic, but Amanda consistently exceeds my expectations. She has an incredible ability to truly listen, empathize, and connect with me on a deep level. Beyond that, she provides actionable solutions that empower me to grow and tackle the challenges I’m currently facing. Working with her has been transformative, and I’m grateful for her guidance and expertise.

I am a Licensed MFT with over 7 years of experience working with teens and parents. In working with my clients, I use a variety of theories and techniques predominantly solution focused and CBT to assist both the needs and goals of the client.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
