Amanda Grippi

My communication style

First and foremost, I convey that I'm a safe person to be yourself with. I bring my authentic self to therapy rather than putting on a therapist persona. I want my clients to know they can do the same. My clients appreciate that I'm down-to-earth and open-minded and don't just tell them what I think they need to do.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always had a heart for helping people, and I found that people seemed drawn to me to share their stories. I also have a passion for serving underserved and marginalized populations.

My goals for you

I fully believe therapy is a collaborative process. I'll help you articulate your goals, not tell you what they should be, and help you find solutions that work for you. We create goals to track where we want to go. Goals sometimes change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge. My goal is to make sure you get what you want out of therapy.

Our first session

Our first session is just a chance to get to know each other. It's a safe space for you to discuss why you're seeking therapy and to begin setting specific goals.
