Family therapy and counseling in Syracuse, NY

I am a warm, grounded therapist who prioritizes emotional safety while building genuine rapport. Once trust is established, I thoughtfully challenge clients in ways that promote insight and growth without undermining that sense of security. I allow glimpses of my own humanity, which helps clients feel understood while still maintaining clear professional boundaries. Overall, my style reflects a balance of compassion, depth, and seasoned clinical judgment.

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience working in outpatient mental health clinics. I know that it was not easy to get to the point you are at today but you are not alone! My goal is to support you in living the life that makes you feel happy and satisfied.

I specialize in working with young adults (20's & 30's) who are navigating the unique challenges of early adulthood. I also have a background in addiction counseling including gambling and significant other support.

My name is Amanda Egan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have always had a passion of helping others and I am constantly inspired by listening to people’s stories. There are many reasons people look into therapy and whether you just need someone to listen and help you talk things out or you are struggling with something currently, I can help. I have over a decade of clinical experience. I have worked with all ages and populations. Currently I also work as a Middle School Social Worker and assist adolescents in managing their school related stress and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis.

I specialize in anxiety and depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and many more. I use a strengths based perspective and encourage my patients to use positive self talk. Contact me if you are currently in need of assistance or just need someone to talk to. I am a full time social worker and pitbull Mom but I will make myself available to you as needed.

I encourage everyone, no matter your background, circumstances or symptoms to reach out. If I feel I am not the best therapist to suit your needs, I can provide resources and referrals. Therapy is a big step for some and I am here to walk with you through this process. I provide a safe inclusive environment tailored to your specific needs.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.
