Amanda Grant, LCSW

Amanda Grant, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings 14 years of experience to her clinical practice in New York. She has served in roles as a staff clinician, supervisor, therapist, and administrator across multiple settings, and draws on that broad background to inform a thoughtful, person-centered approach to care.

Amanda grounds her work in consistent principles of compassion, authenticity, and intentional connection. She values partnering with individuals and families who are ready for growth, holding space for who they want to become rather than who they felt they needed to be. Her practice emphasizes transformative healing for adolescents, people seeking deep emotional repair or rest, those navigating mid-life transitions or new parenthood, and whole-family work.

Her current focus areas include attachment difficulties, the effects of trauma - particularly sexual trauma and early childhood experiences - behavioral needs linked to emotional disabilities, sexuality and identity, and family systems. Amanda consistently pursues professional development and integrates new evidence-based therapeutic techniques as part of her commitment to ongoing learning. She welcomes inquiries from people seeking meaningful change and a collaborative space for healing and growth.

Approaches for attachment, trauma, and family healing online

Amanda often uses attachment-focused interventions that explore relational patterns and early bonds to help people understand how attachment shapes current relationships and emotional responses. These interventions can be especially helpful for those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, or attachment concerns.

She also incorporates trauma-focused work that addresses the impacts of sexual trauma and adverse early experiences. This approach aims to reduce trauma-related symptoms and to support emotional regulation, sense of safety, and integration of difficult memories.

In addition, Amanda draws on family systems perspectives to examine how family roles and communication patterns affect individual wellbeing, which can assist couples, blended families, and parents navigating complex relational dynamics.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the individual and family context.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Amanda’s online practice emphasizes flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their preferred location and schedule, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and busy routines.
