Amanda Sacks

I have always felt drawn to understanding people’s inner worlds and creating spaces where others can feel seen, supported, and less alone. You may be navigating a recent stressor, grief, or complex relationships, or want to address trauma or long-standing patterns. Therapy offers an opportunity to gain a clearer sense of self. In our work, we’ll explore what’s impacting your current mood, how past experiences may still be showing up in your body and nervous system, and how to create meaningful change. I welcome clients of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I'm licensed in NY, NJ & CA

I truly believe there is not one "school of thought" when it comes to therapy. Each session considers the many dimensions of who you are, from a holistic, whole-person perspective. While sessions include traditional talk therapy, the integration of somatic (body-based) practices, including EMDR is prevalent. My approach is warm, creative, encouraging & safe.

I’m an advocate for mental health (brain health), self-care, & creating a sustainable work-life balance, even in high-pressure environments. In therapy, we honor both the small wins & the big ones & reaching out for support is a big win in my book. If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect for a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a fit.

Therapy is rooted in the relationship between therapist and individual, and is unlike any relationship that you have in your life otherwise. This is a judgment-free space, where no topic is off limits. My approach is somatically informed and customized for you and your unique life and experiences.
