Caring Mental Health Support, All Online

Hi, I'm Amanda the therapist behind Shift & Be Seen Counseling.

I started this practice because I kept meeting the same woman in different chapters of her life: the 20-something who looks like she has it together but is quietly anxious about everything, the 30-something who is feeling overwhelmed and burnt-out with life, and the new mom who loves her baby fiercely and still cries in the shower because she doesn't recognize her own life anymore. I wanted a space built specifically for her, not generic therapy, but therapy that gets it.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), licensed throughout New York State, and I work exclusively with women navigating anxiety, stress, relationship and family strain, depression, the leap from college into career life, and the identity earthquake of new motherhood including mom rage, mom guilt, postpartum anxiety, and the loss-of-self that so many moms feel but few talk about.

My style is warm and direct. I'm not going to just nod and say "how does that make you feel" I'll be real with you, we'll laugh sometimes, and we'll also do the deeper work of figuring out what's actually going on and what to do about it.

Everything is virtual, which means therapy fits into your life, no commute, no waiting room, just a private, secure video session wherever you are in New York.

I offer sessions in both English and Arabic, so you can work with me in whichever language feels most natural to you.
