Are you feeling overwhelmed by relationship stress, anxiety, or the pressures of navigating early adulthood? I work with young adult women across New York via telehealth who want to better understand their relationship patterns, manage anxiety, and feel more grounded in their day-to-day lives.

With 9 years of experience providing individual and couples therapy, my work is informed by Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, approaches that help uncover the emotional and relational patterns that shape how we connect with others. Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment styles, and current stressors influence your relationships and emotional well-being.

As a first-generation immigrant from NYC, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to conversations around identity, family expectations, and navigating different cultural worlds.

I currently offer a short-term therapy model (8 sessions) designed to help clients gain insight, develop practical tools, and create meaningful shifts in how they relate to themselves and others. At the end of the initial course, we can revisit progress and determine whether extending to 10–12 sessions would be helpful.

Hi, I’m Amanda Sifonte, LCSW. I work with teens, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, chronic health conditions, grief, and life transitions. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. Using a collaborative and individualized approach, I tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals, helping you build practical skills, gain insight, and move toward lasting growth and well-being.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Therapist with over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatric populations. I’ve practiced in various settings such as outpatient mental health clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home and virtually. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger management issues along with trauma and abuse.

I strive to bring a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to therapy. I have been a social worker for 10 years, working with mothers of babies in the neonatal ICU for 5 years, and a mother for over 25 years. Moms go through a lot. Are you a woman seeking to become pregnant? Have you recently experienced a miscarriage or a loss? Are you a mother of young children? I have a strong connection with women in all stages of motherhood, whether you are aspiring to be a mother, find motherhood overwhelming and all-consuming, or have recently suffered a loss. No other loss is quite like the pain of miscarriage and infant loss. In therapy, you will be heard and seen. I'll give you the space to let it all out, and to process what you are going through.

I'm Laura Galasso, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience working with children, teens, families and young adults. My background spans school-based mental health, outpatient settings, and private practice. I specialize in trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, and supporting clients through life transitions. I work with clients ages 12 and up, and I'm constantly deepening my training expertise to benefit my clients. I believe in showing up for clients with genuine warmth and a commitment to growth.

I like to help my clients recreate their narrative through expressive forms of art. In my practice I've only ever had clients who were visionaries. After all, aren't visionaries those who see things others don't see ... yet? Here's to system redesign!

I hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University, equipping me with a strong foundation in clinical practice and social work principles.

My professional background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker encompasses a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Biblical Christian Counseling, Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), Relational Therapy, Solution-Focused Couples Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Family-Focused Therapy.

I am dedicated to providing tailored, compassionate care to male and female adults, as well as the geriatric population, addressing a wide spectrum of mental health, emotional, and relational needs to foster empowerment and well-being.

I became a clinician because I firmly believe that my purpose in life is to help others heal through compassionate and empathic therapy. I hope we can start your healing process as soon as you are ready.

I’m an experienced licensed mental health counselor and I believe that meaningful therapy starts with a genuine human connection. The relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of my work and I strive to create a space that feels warm, comfortable, and free of judgment. I bring curiosity, compassion, and humor into the room and I focus on attuning to each client’s unique needs so therapy feels personal, collaborative, and real.

While I aim to be supportive and affirming, I also believe growth often requires gentle challenge. I work to help clients notice patterns, stretch beyond what feels familiar, and engage honestly with themselves—always at a pace that feels respectful and manageable. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person or couple I work with. I’m trained in EMDR and also draw from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic approaches. I enjoy working with individuals and couples, with areas of focus that include trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem, and identity. Whether you’re looking to heal, gain insight, or make meaningful change, I’ll walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, and intention.

She has experience working in high stress environments, with clients who have issues related to mental health, substance use, trauma, and more. She is also passionate about helping those who are interested in cultivating leadership skills, managing the stress of challenging work environments, supervising staff and employee burnout prevention.

I am warm, engaging and view therapy as an educational and empowering process. I see my strengths as guiding the process, but not controlling. I emphasize how each client can take charge of their unique situation and provide the tools to do so as well as over 43 years of clinical practice experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and Maryland, the latter is my current virtual practice. I earned my MSW in 1979. I was employed for 42 years at a hospital on Long Island.
