Therapist

Virtual • Rhode Island


Everyone has times in their lives where they are confused, conflicted, or struggling with something that requires help from others. Finding the right person to help can be overwhelming, but thankfully that is why I am here! I am a licensed mental health counselor who has worked with children to adults with a variety of issues including anxiety, pre/post partum care, depression, relationship issues, self esteem, and overall feelings of being stuck. Over the past 10 years, I have shifted my practice to adults who are struggling to understand what their roadblocks to success, happiness, and general well-being are.

We will work together to give you the tools to start identifying and changing thinking patterns that no longer suit you or your needs. We will create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to find your voice to be able to share your thoughts and feelings.

Amanda Masi

Therapist

Virtual • Providence, RI


Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. Many clients come in feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling in relationships, or trying to manage everything on their own. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, process what’s going on, and feel genuinely supported without judgment.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island, my work focuses on helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, relationship issues, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across mental health, child welfare, foster care, schools, community-based programs, and the juvenile court system, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments.

Welcome! I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating life's most painful or complex challenges.
