I cannot speak highly enough of Amanda Marano and the incredible therapy experience she provides. As someone who has been under her care for the past year, I can confidently say that she possesses unmatched skills, dedication, and compassion as a therapist. Despite the complexities of my situation, including navigating political controversies that put me in a precarious status, Amanda has been a steady source of support and guidance. She creates a warm and inclusive environment where I feel safe to explore my deepest struggles. Amanda's commitment to her clients' well-being is truly commendable; she went above and beyond to accommodate my financial limitations without compromising the quality of care. Her expertise in trauma therapy and couples counseling is exceptional, leading to significant personal growth and strengthened relationships. Moreover, Amanda's dedication to feminism and social justice shines through in her approach, fostering an empowering space for clients to advocate for themselves. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking transformative therapy. More...

Mandy has changed my entire life for the better. Every major problem, pattern, and dysfunction I struggled with my entire life has been resolved, or is being resolved thanks to her guidance. I had seen a few other therapists in the past, but all are utterly incomparable to the experience I have had with Mandy. She has a true gift for understanding people in all of their complexity, combined with the wisdom and talent to guide someone to make a better life for themselves. The therapeutic relationship she carefully built with me has enabled me to live a beautiful life that was once inconceivable to me. My choice to commit to long-term therapy with Mandy is the single best decision I have ever made. More...

Through therapy, Mandy was able to provide me with exactly what I needed to move forward in my emotional life at the time. When I started seeing Mandy, I felt lost and unsupported and was on a steady downward spiral. Her capacity for empathy surprised me, particularly as someone who had not consistently felt this from another person. I think this is a valuable skill for any therapist. I will always be grateful for the special and unique therapist-client relationship Mandy built with me through her combination of compassion and insight. I feel fortunate that in the “therapist lottery”, I scored Mandy. More...
