Hello, I appreciate your interest in taking this journey with me! I work with ages 14 and up that are dealing with challenges such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relational difficulties, and many other areas through an integrative approach. I work with clients to manage and process traumatic experiences, adjust their communication, learn and implement boundaries, and so much more! Oftentimes, the areas of change are directly linked to unresolved experiences from our past, we will identify, discuss, set a plan, and follow through the journey to establish a resolution. At this time, I only see clients in NY.

In the times we live in now, life can sometimes feel overwhelming and challenging. You may feel all alone and as if there is no way out and this can affect the way you approach life and the decisions you make.

I'm a dynamic and seasoned professional with over 20 years of clinical experience.

My therapeutic style involves an eclectic and collaborative approach. I work with children, adolescences, adults and couples.There are many different kinds of psychotherapy. Along the therapeutic process we will match the mode of therapy to your specific concern, need and preference. Everyone is different and unique in their own way.

My name is Amanda Egan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have always had a passion of helping others and I am constantly inspired by listening to people’s stories. There are many reasons people look into therapy and whether you just need someone to listen and help you talk things out or you are struggling with something currently, I can help. I have over a decade of clinical experience. I have worked with all ages and populations. Currently I also work as a Middle School Social Worker and assist adolescents in managing their school related stress and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis.

I have been a practicing clinical social worker for over 15 years. I have extensive experience working as a school social worker, addiction counselor and private practitioner. I incorporate different types of treatment modalities into my sessions, based on the issues and people that I am working with. My client base consists of tweens to adults and I work with individuals, couples and families.

I find that an empathetic approach is the best way to build rapport and trust with a client. I am fortunate to have worked across many populations (infants, children, adolescents, adults, geriatrics, military personnel, special needs, etc) and feel that creative arts therapy is universal. I have experience in a myriad of diagnoses ranging from anxiety and depression to acute psychiatric disorders.

Life can be a challenging journey, but you don't have to go through it alone! Having an outlet or someone outside your situation to work things through can help. I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, relationships, depression, or self-esteem, to name a few! Additionally, I am a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional. I help individuals and couples overcome barriers to intimacy (sexual & love addiction, avoidant behavior, betrayal trauma, pornography, infidelity, low-sex relationships, body image issues, sexual dysfunction, & more), helping clients lead to fulfilling & exciting relationships, physically and emotionally.

I have had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients from all walks of life. I have experience conducting individual, couples, and group therapy. I have worked with clients that struggled with diagnosis that ranged from anxiety/depression to schizophrenia to substance use disorders. I have also worked with clients who have struggled with stress management, self-esteem, and family/work issues.

Life is not about the absence of struggles but how we approach them to grow from them & know ourselves better in the process. Each of us deserves compassion, openness, and genuine regard when it comes to life's difficulties. My aim is to be an active support in my clients' challenges so that they can learn independence, insight, and trust in themselves by virtue of our time together.

I believe every person has a story to share, a story that deserves to be heard, affirmed, and respected. I also believe everyone has the right to rewrite the narrative of their life in ways that promote growth, healing, radical acceptance, and compassion. Your issues are not too big or too small. Your needs are valid and worthy of fulfillment. And your goals are achievable and within your reach.
