I’m a Christian counselor for Christian women. I offer Telehealth sessions for those who live in New York State.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and judgment-free. I specialize in helping with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, relationship concerns, career counseling, and personal growth. My background is in equine-assisted addiction recovery and family therapy. I offer sessions in person and virtually.

Are you feeling sad, angry, or anxious? Maybe you have just completed a treatment program and require ongoing support, or you feel you or a loved one are struggling with drug andor alcohol abuse, and you're unsure where to turn? Whether you are dealing with a crisis, seeking help for an addiction, or simply would like some guidance and support in our busy and stressful world, I provide a safe and honest space for you to work towards your personal goals, as well as assessment and referral services for more intensive treatment if needed. I specialize in mental health and substance abuse, and recognize that almost nobody in today's world is untouched by these issues. I use a variety of holistic and evidence-based therapy approaches tailored to your individual needs, with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction. I believe that focus on the present moment and the quality of our thoughts are the greatest tools we have to change our lives. You CAN change the way you think to change the way you feel. There is always hope, and you are not alone! Call today for a free phone consultation and find out how therapy can help you help yourself.

I help people who feel held back by anxiety—whether that’s fear of flying, driving, specific situations, or the everyday worries that never seem to let up. My style is straightforward and supportive. I use evidence-based approaches that give you practical tools for real life, and I’ll walk alongside you as you face the things that feel overwhelming. Together, we’ll work on building confidence, loosening anxiety’s grip, and creating space for the life you want to live.

Is your head space so consumed with negative thoughts and excessive worrying that you find you can no longer experience joy like you once used to? Are you easily fatigued and worried about losing those closest to you? Are you a people pleaser and overly concerned with what others think of you? Are you constantly accommodating to the needs of others while sacrificing your own needs and well-being? Are you having difficulties making decisions and longing for clarity? If so, you aren’t alone in facing these struggles and I am here to help you. Together we will discuss goals and create a plan that will provide relief and improve wellness. I will work with you on specific strategies that will empower you to face and conquer your difficult situations. I will help you to get your joy back and restore order in your life. As a result of the therapeutic journey, you will gain self-awareness and will understand yourself better in ways no one has ever taught you.

Hi there, my name is Amanda, welcome to my profile:) I am a licensed mental health counselor committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and hope. My practice focuses on solution-focused therapies tailored to people experiencing anxiety, depression, as well as ADHD and OCD. I work collaboratively with clients to uncover strengths, set practical goals, and create change—one step at a time. In addition to traditional mental health care, I offer spiritual counseling for individuals from all faiths and backgrounds. I've been working in the mental health world for over 10 years now. I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I also have training in transpersonal counseling which allows spirituality to enter into the counseling space to promote purpose and meaning. Reaching out for help can be such an overwhelming and intimating process. I'm so glad that you are! Even if you choose another provider, please know you are doing one of the most beautiful things in life - investing and caring for you! You deserve that!

I understand the weight of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. If you’re coping with the impact of trauma, addiction, or general stress, it’s time to get some relief. It’s easy to get stuck in negative patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving. Your relationships, confidence, or self-worth may be at risk. If you want different results, you have to do something different. Talking to somebody about what’s going on might be that something. I started my practice, North Star Therapy, with the goal of improving the quality of life for those who struggle with mental health issues. Together we will navigate life’s challenges. I will use my clinical expertise to shine light on some solutions and help you accomplish your goals. Let me be your guide toward health, happiness, and healing. You can come by the office, talk over the phone, or do therapy through secure video conferencing. The office environment is dedicated to your comfort and healing. Hope to hear from you soon!

It is my belief that we each know, consciously and unconsciously, what we need in order to move toward more positive growth and change in our lives. It is my role, as a counselor and life transition specialist, to provide a safe, confidential, and goal oriented environment in which to help facilitate and process such growth. Often we do not understand the factors influencing and hindering our progress. A skilled clinician can help educate and motivate clients toward the change they seek.

About Me If you’re burned out and tired of trying harder, you’re not alone. You might be juggling work, relationships, and expectations, yet still feel like you’re falling short. Many of my clients are smart, capable, and deeply caring — but under the surface, they’re overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly second-guessing themselves. I’ve been a licensed counselor for over 21 years. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, and I’m raising three kids with ADHD — one who has autism. I know how exhausting it is when the strategies that work for “everyone else” just don’t work for you. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. After working with me, clients often say therapy finally makes sense. What I Offer Therapy with me isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about understanding what’s going on, untangling the patterns that keep you stuck, and building tools that actually work for your life. Who I Work With You might be someone who shows up strong and steady for others, but secretly feels like you’re falling apart behind the scenes. Maybe you’re holding it together at work but struggling to function at home. Or maybe you’ve tried therapy before, only to be handed tools that didn’t fit your life or felt too surface-level. I help people who feel stretched thin, emotionally flooded, or stuck in old patterns — whether that’s perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, or always being “on.” Together, we’ll make space for relief, clarity, and change that lasts. How We’ll Work Together We’ll figure out what’s working, what’s not, and what you actually need. You’ll learn practical ways to calm your body when emotions get big, create structure that helps with follow-through, and set boundaries without guilt. We’ll also explore the parts of you that show up under stress — like the perfectionist, the avoider, or the critic — and learn how to respond differently so you don’t feel pulled in every direction. Everything we use is flexible, grounded, and built to fit your real life — not someone else’s idea of how you “should” be. If therapy has felt unhelpful or disconnected before, this might feel different. Schedule a free consultation — let’s see if we’re a good fit.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I provide compassionate, empowering, and affirming counseling services that are client-centered and goal-oriented and that develop and enhance my client's strengths and build their coping skills to manage the symptoms of a wide range of mental health conditions. I practice from a philosophy of empowering my clients to achieve balance with their mental and emotional health and to maintain healthy boundaries that support their well-being. I offer therapy sessions that support the goals for change that my clients are seeking for themselves once we both understand what my client wishes to see differently in their lives, then we can explore the interventions that best support the therapeutic work we will do together. In our therapy sessions, we will learn and practice concepts from interventions such as motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy principles, cognitive processing therapy strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, and dialectical behavior therapy strategies to help you build a toolbox of skills and techniques the lead to your success with managing the effects of adversity and challenges in your life.

I tailor my approach to the needs of each individual. Some clients require a more directive psycho-educational approach to therapy and for others therapy may be more of a process of self exploration, discovery and learning in which the client is supported, guided and empowered to successfully lead their own life. Our clients are enlightened & educated in the most effective processes of healing, growing, improving and developing of solutions that improve their quality of life and relationships. I believe in a simple honest and straight forward approach that draws from a variety of theories & models which I have found to be the most effective in yielding results, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Holistic Approach Therapy, identifying & changing underlying subconscious factors that contribute to the problems and unhelpful patterns.

ARE YOU TIRED OF SCROLLING THROUGH THERAPISTS' PROFILES? Life can be challenging enough, and finding a counselor shouldn't add another stressor. You may feel overwhelmed at work, disappointed with a relationship, or uncertain about your future. You want to find a counselor you connect with and feel confident that can help you. I believe life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control you, or feel anxious, depressed, and angry all the time. I want you to feel free of emotional pain, confident about your future, and find meaning and purpose in your work, family, friendships, or spirituality. For nearly a decade, I've walked with literally hundreds of clients through some of their darkest times. I'm a licensed counselor in 2 states (TX & FL), a Master Addiction Counselor, and a licensed Supervisor for other counselors in training. I've also done public speaking events and interviews on mental health topics and spirituality. I see situations that are similar to yours all the time. I understand life can be challenging and sometimes feel terrible. I cannot offer a magic pill to take it away or fix everything, but I can assure you that you don't have to figure things out alone. I don't believe anyone should go through the struggle alone. Reach out today and begin the change
