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 board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with seven years of experience across inpatient care and graduate-level training. I’ve worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and many other mental health challenges. Spending time with people in their most difficult moments has shaped how I show up: supportive, patient, and nonjudgmental. My goal is to help you feel more centered, understood, and in control of your mental health.
First- I love being a therapist. Second, I feel that it’s a privilege to be chosen to walk alongside someone in their journey of life and support them and help them learn tools to navigate life‘s challenges in an effective way. I love helping people live their best life!
I've been in practice for 27 years. I have a Masters degree in Social Work and a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice. I also have advanced certification In Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. Common treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.
I work hard to cultivate a peaceful, safe, caring atmosphere with my clients. My clients tell me that they feel supported and have had breakthroughs that they did not experience with previous therapists. I frequently provide trainings in the community in the areas of mental health, women’s issues and parenting and have been selected for news interviews on two occasions as a local mental health expert in my field.
I have 8 years of nursing experience working with children as young as 6 years and older across inpatient and outpatient settings. Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ODD, bipolar and psychotic disorders are some of the areas I have expertise in.
I graduated from Hofstra University Nurse Practitioner Program and was recognized for The Academic Excellence Award for outstanding clinical and academic performance.
We can move forward, overcome, learn and grow, seeking peace, balance, happiness. I was a NYS Certified School Psychologist for 16 years, and have 7 years of combined supervised and licensed experience as a Mental Health Counselor. I have several degrees in addition to Mental Health Counseling which broadens my perspectives and experience. I was a Training Consultant for Dale Carnegie Training. I also have a Jack Nash Honors MBA, working in foreign exchange capital markets for several years. Counseling however is my calling, my purpose.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like themselves. Many of my patients come in with anxiety, depression, mood changes, sleep problems, or difficulty functioning the way they want to in daily life.
My approach is clear, structured, and collaborative. I do more than prescribe medication. I help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms, what your options are, and what a realistic plan looks like moving forward.
If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling rushed or unsure about what to do next, my goal is to make sure that doesn’t happen here.
