Hello, my name is Amanda N. Moore, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in the psychology of children with exceptionalities, followed by a Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. I specialize in working with adults facing acute and persistent mental illnesses, including depression, PTSD, psychosis, mood disorders, substance use disorders, and personality disorders. I have a particular passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and providing gender-affirming care. I believe in a holistic approach, as there is no “one size fits all” method in mental health care. During sessions, I blend various techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT skills training, mindfulness, positive psychology, and trauma-informed counseling. With my background in psychological research, I’ve trained in administering assessments such as the MMPI-2, Big Five Inventory, and CPI scales. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer, hiking, powerlifting, and reading fantasy novels. I aim to create a safe, welcoming environment where my clients feel empowered to overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals. I offer secure telehealth services Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, for adults seeking compassionate, individualized care. Treatment Philosophy I believe in a holistic, individualized approach to mental health care, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique. My passion lies in creating a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard and valued. By blending evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, I help clients work toward their goals.

Hello! I started my group practice, Water & Stone, to offer people a better chance to find the right therapist for them. I have been working for over 10 years to bring mindfulness and contemplative psychotherapy to those interested in gaining insight and living a full life. I can’t wait to hear how we can support you in making it through a difficult time or finding new meaning in your daily life. 

As a clinician, I strive to be intelligent and warm, but also direct. I won't hide behind an anonymous exterior. My sessions are frequently punctuated by wit, insight and spontaneity. I try to be as authentic as possible while prioritizing your well-being and enhancing your capacity to change.

I am a licensed trauma therapist and I provide teletherapy to individuals in New York, Texas, and Maryland. My specialty is developing distress tolerance, or making stress feel less overwhelming. I work with clients aged 5-18, 18+ as individuals and/or families. Stress exists as a necessary part of the human experience. For some, this experience has been more dangerous, disruptive, or overwhelming. In our sessions, I’ll provide the opportunity for you to reconnect with a sense of safety to move into a fuller life. I practice from a combination of therapy models. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as the basis for skill building. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a guide for regulating the nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds a deeper connection to our authentic goals.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. For so many, an achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with my clients to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined. My approach is solution-focused and uses elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy to identify and build on your strengths. As a Substance Abuse Specialist, I help individuals including young adults transform their relationships with substances and behaviors that feel out of control. Therapy should be a process that makes us feel free to be fully ourselves. To heal and enliven us to be authentically, beautifully, and powerfully exactly who we are, unbound by what has in the past, held us back. Let's work together to find strength, meaning, healing, and freedom so you can define your own path. It's time to be free and come alive again. Let’s do it together.

The primary objective of my practice has always been to provide patients with a safe and supportive environment where they can be their Authentic Self while overcoming their barriers to success.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with high-achieving individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, cross-cultural adjustment, and difficult family histories. I take a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental approach, helping adolescents and adults deepen self-understanding, build meaningful relationships, and move toward a life aligned with their values. I hold a PsyD from Yeshiva University and have extensive training across medical, community, school, and foster care settings. I also supervise doctoral trainees at The Graduate Center, CUNY, and have offered workshops, talks, and leadership contributions through professional organizations. In addition to clinical work, I founded Dr. Vivi Coaching to support international students, and I authored The Power of Being Different, a chapter on navigating graduate school as an international student.

My goal is to establish a collaborative relationship with the client directed toward wholeness and their personal growth and transformation. I strive to move away from the stigma and labeling that traditional abnormal psychology offers and focus on my client's strengths and mutually developed goals to help them reach their highest potential. Body-mind-spirit integration is my personal life foundation, and it is the core of my therapeutic approach. I provide individual and couples therapy for the issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, communication issues, relationship difficulties, life transitions, coping with stress, chronic illness, cancer, bereavement counseling, caregiver support, maternal mental health, and many more. I integrate my unique specialty as a Certified MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) Practitioner, one of the very few fully certified in the US, to offer a comprehensive psychological assessment and turn this modality into a life-changing experience. I’m an eclectic therapist, combining different approaches that are geared toward individual goals of each client and ultimately lead to their own path of healing and overall wellness.
