Override Hero Title

Hi, I'm Amanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of RIVE Counseling. I support women who are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but privately struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and start making sense of what you've been carrying.

I began my journey in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2015 and am currently pursuing my doctorate. I work with clients seeking support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship and dating challenges, as well as those seeking a more fulfilling life.

I help you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Hi! My formal education in Forensic Mental Health Counseling has provided me with a variety of experiences and really emphasized the importance of taking an individualized approach to therapy. Finding the positive in negative moments and utilizing humor are staples in my sessions. Employing self-compassion takes strength, and I believe whole-heartedly in helping people see just how strong they are.

Hello there! My name is Shannon and whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you're looking for continuing support, I'd be honored to partner with you in your healing journey. Using trauma-informed approaches, I meet you where you're at in your journey. I've supported clients through issues such as complex trauma, anxiety, challenging relationships, grief, and low self-esteem along with others.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Marist College. My clinical background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the stressors that come with major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, not analyzed or rushed. I bring a calm, compassionate presence to sessions and value creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are — even if you’re not sure how to put things into words yet.

I work well with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware, and may feel like they’re “functioning” on the outside but carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional heaviness internally. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, or long-standing patterns that no longer feel sustainable.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your emotional capacity, and move toward meaningful, lasting change — at a pace that feels safe and respectful.

My style is thoughtful, reflective, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also being gently challenged when it’s helpful. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about increasing awareness, strengthening emotional capacity, and helping you move forward in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

I draw from evidence-based approaches, tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Narrative Therapy, allowing us to both understand current patterns and reshape the way you relate to your experiences and personal story.

I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work at Fordham University and have since gained valuable experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings.

I provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care, and draw from several modalities, depending on client needs. I have training in CBT, DBT, EFIT, psychodynamics, and am certified in trauma-focused CBT. I have experience treating a variety of diagnoses, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment issues.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience providing psychotherapy. I came to the field a bit later in life after exploring other pursuits as a young person in New York City, and I love this work. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I love helping individuals find meaningful, lasting relationships.

Hi there! I am a LMHC and CASAC with over 14 years' experience. Thinking about starting therapy, but not sure what to expect? There are a lot of misconceptions out there about what therapy is or isn't, but at the end of the day, therapy is something that can help you on your journey to getting to know yourself. My expertise lies in working with individuals managing trauma, addiction, mental health issues, conflict resolution, communication issues and couples facing relationship struggles.

I am a clinical social worker with background in substance abuse treatment and mental health. I really enjoy working with clients and working towards their "aha moments". Therapy is a safe space to grow and "let down your hair" so to speak. I never want our time together to be a power struggle/dynamic but rather a place where you can speak your mind and not feel judged.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, published author, and executive coach with decades of experience helping people navigate career transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, and the impact of health conditions and illness. Having worked with college students and professionals from a variety of industries for years, I understand the pressure that comes with uncertainty and change—the constant decision-making, the need to appear strong even when you feel anything but, and the way personal challenges can shake everything you’ve built. My approach is rooted in helping you move through uncertainty with clarity and purpose, no matter what life throws your way.

I am a insight oriented therapist that strongly believes that "there is always hope for a better tomorrow". I am an experienced therapist specializing in issues of depression, phobias, PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, ADD, eating disorders and obsessions. I work particularly well with couple/marital issues, family issues and drug addiction.

Have you experienced past or present trauma that may be hindering your personal growth and getting in the way of your goals? We all have struggled in dealing with painful situations, but we no longer have to struggle alone.

As the saying goes, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - Lao Tzu. Let me help you take that first step towards becoming a better you!

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship issues and bereavement utilizing the following therapeutic approaches such as psycho-dynamic therapy, insight oriented therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy modalities, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and grievance therapy.
