It’s difficult enough to figure out what you want. But saying it out loud to a partner? That can be even scarier. What if we don’t want the same things? Or, worse still, what if I hurt them? Does any of this sound familiar? Many people live in silence to avoid the pain of hurting another. But at some point that backs up on you. Therapy is your place to give voice to those feelings and decide what, if anything, you want to do with them..

Why do you seem to grow irritable and frustrated with other people? Is there something that keeps you from being able to communicate with your partner? Something that keeps you from doing well at work? Why is it so hard to talk to that family member, to trust other people--to trust even your own judgment? You know just what you want to do in life (growth, stability, security, find a supportive romantic relationship), yet, so many of your goals have never been realized.

Life has a way of outgrowing our coping and survival strategies. When what we were doing stops working, it’s time for a new path. However, we don't just look at what's happening inside; we look at how our internal world can be shaped by unfair systems, culture, and societal beliefs. By naming these internal and external experiences, I hope to help you feel empowered, turning a sense of overwhelm into an engaged, meaninful path forward.

My ideal client—my people—are ready for real change. They’re thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of managing symptoms instead of transforming patterns. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or feeling stuck in fear-based thinking, even after previous therapy. They’re open-minded, value authenticity, and willing to explore how thoughts, emotional states, and energy shape their lived experience. They want a therapeutic relationship that feels human and real—and they’re ready to learn tools that actually work.

Hello, my name is Amanda. I am a bi-racial, African American woman who chose the field of Social Work because supporting and listening to others has always been a natural part of who I am. From an early age, I was the person people could turn to when they needed someone to truly hear them. I’ve always loved connecting with others, learning about their stories, and understanding the experiences that shape them. Becoming a therapist allows me to do what I love most—building meaningful connections—while also being a supportive partner in someone’s journey of growth and healing.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your state and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by insurance, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the US vary widely depending on where you live. In major cities, the wait can range from a few days to several weeks. In rural or underserved areas, it is not uncommon to wait several months. Wait times can also vary depending on the type of therapist you are looking for. In general, master's level therapists like licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) tend to be more widely available than psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree. Availability can also differ depending on the specialty you are looking for; therapists who specialize in areas like trauma, eating disorders, or child therapy tend to have longer wait times because there are fewer of them relative to the demand for their specific expertise.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your state without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your primary care doctor can be a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation, provide referrals that may help move the process along, and in some cases connect you with other mental health resources in your area. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health centers are designed to serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they often have more flexibility for both crisis care and follow-up appointments than private practices do.
